The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering
Sanjoy Mahajan · Olin College of Engineering
To master complexity, we can organize it or discard it. This text first teaches the tools for organizing complexity, then distinguishes the two paths for discarding complexity: with and without loss of information. Questions and problems throughout the text help readers master and apply these groups of tools.

Introduction to Environmental Science
Caralyn Zehnder, Kalina Manoylov, Samuel Mutiti, Christine Mutiti, Allison VandeVoort, & Donna Bennett · Georgia College and State University
This text uses the basic principles of biology and earth science as a context for understanding environmental policies and resource management practices. Our planet is facing unprecedented environmental challenges, from oil spills to global climate change. This texts explores the science behind these problems; preparing you to make an informed, invaluable contribution to Earth's future.

Introductory Statistics
Barbara Illowsky & Susan Dean · De Anza College
This text follows scope and sequence requirements of a one-semester introduction to statistics course and is geared toward students majoring in fields other than math or engineering. The text assumes some knowledge of intermediate algebra and focuses on statistics application over theory. Introductory Statistics includes innovative practical applications that make the text relevant and accessible, as well as collaborative exercises, technology integration problems, and statistics labs.

MAT 1350: Precalculus Part I
Jay Abramson · Prince George's Community College
Algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols. It is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. Elementary algebra is generally considered to be essential for any study of mathematics, science, or engineering, as well as such applications as medicine and economics. Elementary algebra differs from arithmetic in the use of abstractions, such as using letters to stand for numbers that are either unknown or allowed to take on many values.

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.

Distillation Science
Larry Coleman · LibreTexts
This is a ten-part series of technical articles on Distillation Science, as is currently practiced on an industrial level. It is organized as it would be used for the process design of large-scale distillation columns, which may differ from the way topics are introduced to students academically. As a part of distillation column design, these articles also involve the vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) of binary systems, with potential extension to multi-component systems.

Linear Algebra
David Cherney, Tom Denton, & Andrew Waldron · University of California, Davis
Linear algebra is the study of vectors and linear transformations. This text is suitable for a sophomore level linear algebra course taught in about twenty-five lectures. It is designed both for engineering and science majors, but has enough abstraction to be useful for potential math majors. Our goal in writing it was to produce students who can perform computations with linear systems and also understand the concepts behind these computations.

Introduction to Climate Science
Andreas Schmittner · Oregon State University
This book describes how Earth's climate is changing, how it has been changing in the recent geological past and how it may change in the future. It covers the physical sciences that build the foundations of our current understanding of global climate change such as radiation, Earth's energy balance, the greenhouse effect and the carbon cycle. Both natural and human causes for climate change are discussed. Impacts of climate change on natural and human systems are summarized.

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.
