Math 110: Applied College Mathematics
Leanne Merrill · Western Oregon University
This book is intended for use with Math 110: Applied College Mathematics at Western Oregon University. The text addresses the study of rates, proportions and percent in applications; investigation into various types of data and ways to describe, represent and analyze data; and study of polynomial, exponential, logarithmic and power families of functions for use in modeling real-world data.

Mathematics for Game Developers
Denny Burzynski · College of Southern Nevada
In this book, we focus on a few of the mathematical instruments used in programming languages such as C# and C++. Programming languages have libraries of commands that you can use to write programs, and their commands come from mathematical instruments. In Mathematics for Game Developers, we explore the basic ideas of how mathematical instruments control action and motion in the games you develop. And we introduce technology that performs all the mathematical calculations you might need.

Street-Fighting Mathematics
Sanjoy Mahajan · Olin College of Engineering
An antidote to mathematical rigor mortis, teaching how to guess answers without needing a proof or an exact calculation. In problem solving, as in street fighting, rules are for fools: do whatever works—don't just stand there! Yet we often fear an unjustified leap even though it may land us on a correct result. Traditional mathematics teaching is largely about solving exactly stated problems exactly, yet life often hands us partly defined problems needing only moderately accurate solutions.

Applied Geometric Algebra (Tisza)
László Tisza · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Over the last 100 years, the mathematical tools employed by physicists have expanded considerably, from differential calculus, vector algebra and geometry, to advanced linear algebra, tensors, Hilbert space, spinors, Group theory and many others. These course notes attempt at bringing conceptual clarity and unity to the application and interpretation of these advanced mathematical tools.

Basic Statistics Using R for Crime Analysis
Jaeyong Choi · West Chester University
This text is for those interested in becoming crime analysts, focusing on learning statistics without delving too deeply into mathematics. Moreover, this book emphasizes practical applications by utilizing R for data analysis, ensuring students can develop relevant skills beyond the university. I hope that students can easily follow the instructions in this book and replicate the same outcomes using the provided data. This practical experience will demonstrate the value of statistics and R.

Applied Linear Algebra and Differential Equations
Jeffrey R. Chasnov · Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
These lecture notes are for a mathematics course offered to second-year engineering students. Material from our usual courses on linear algebra and differential equations have been combined into a single course (essentially, two half-semester courses) at the request of our Engineering School. I have tried my best to select the most essential and interesting topics from both courses, and to show how knowledge of linear algebra can improve students’ understanding of differential equations.

Mathematical Biology
Jeffrey R. Chasnov · Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Biology, as is usually taught, requires memorizing a wide selection of facts and remembering them for exams, sometimes forgetting them soon after. For students exposed to biology in secondary school, this text may seem like a different subject. The ability to model problems using mathematics requires almost no rote memorization, but it does require a deep understanding of basic principles and a wide range of mathematical techniques.

Math in Society
David Lippman · Pierce College
This book is a survey of contemporary mathematical topics, most non-algebraic, appropriate for a college-level quantitative literacy topics course for liberal arts majors. The text is designed so that most chapters are independent, allowing the instructor to choose a selection of topics to be covered. Emphasis is placed on the applicability of the mathematics.

The Essence of Mathematics Through Elementary Problems
Alexandre Borovik & Tony Gardiner · University of Manchester & University of Birmingham
The Essence of Mathematics consists of a sequence of 270 problems – with commentary and full solutions. The reader is assumed to have a reasonable grasp of school mathematics. More importantly, s/he should want to understand something of mathematics beyond the classroom, and be willing to engage with (and to reflect upon) challenging problems that highlight the essence of the discipline.

Understanding Elementary Mathematics
Julie Harland · MiraCosta College
Understanding Elementary Mathematics, a series of hands-on Workbook Modules, was written especially for prospective elementary school teachers in a way that they would actively learn the structures, concepts and foundations of elementary mathematics.

Quantitative Problem Solving in Natural Resources
Peter L. Moore · Iowa State University
This text is intended to support courses that bridge the divide between mathematics typically encountered in U.S. high school curricula and the practical problems that natural resource students might engage with in their disciplinary coursework and professional internships.

Applied Combinatorics
Mitchel T. Keller & William T. Trotter · Georgia Tech & Morningside College
This book arose from our feeling that a text that met our approach to Applied Combinatorics was unavailable. Because of the diverse set of instructors assigned to the course, the standard text was one that covered every topic imaginable, but provided little depth. We took a different approach, attacking the central subjects of the course description to provide exposure, but taking the time to go into greater depth in select areas to give the students a better feel for how combinatorics works.
