Open Algebra and Knots
Matthew Salomone · Bridgewater State University
The theory of knots has been well studied since the early 20th century, and has many connections to geometry and topology, and applications to physics, biology, and beyond. We’ll investigate perhaps its most fundamental connection: to algebra. In what ways are knots algebraic objects? How can we use algebraic structures and reasoning to classify knots? And how can this help us to think algebraically beyond the classroom?

MTH 65: Algebra 2
Math Department · Clackamas Community College
TThis book builds a strong algebra foundation. You’ll review core skills like order of operations, fractions, and linear equations, then expand into polynomials, exponents, roots, and radicals. Finally, you’ll explore absolute value to model distance, tolerance, and precision. These connected skills form a toolkit to solve problems confidently and prepare you for advanced math and real-world applications.

Active Prelude to Calculus
Matthew Boelkins, David Austin & Steven Schlicker · Grand Valley State University
This text is designed for college students who aspire to take calculus and who either need to take a course to prepare them for calculus or want to do some additional self-study. Many of the core topics of the course will be familiar to students who have completed high school. At the same time, we take a perspective on every topic that emphasizes how it is important in calculus. The reader will find that the text requires them to engage actively with the material.
