An IBL Introduction to Geometries
Mark A. Fitch · University of Alaska Anchorage
This text was designed for an IBL approach to Introduction to Geometries and covers geometry topics required for secondary teacher certification. As a result it covers synthetic, transformational, and a tiny bit of analytic approaches to geometry and covers both Euclidean (parabolic), hyperbolic, and some projective geometry. Students are expected to have completed a proofs course covering proof techniques, basic set operations, and cardinality as a prerequisite.

Applied Finite Mathematics
Rupinder Sekhon and Roberta Bloom · De Anza College
This text covers topics including linear equations, matrices, linear programming, the mathematics of finance, sets and counting, probability, Markov chains, and game theory. Finite Math covers a variety of topics united by their focus on mathematical techniques used in business applications. The growing field of “business analytics” encompasses many types of applications; the text gives insight to some methods used in industry, although we will explore them on a smaller scale.

Physical Chemistry for the Biosciences
LibreTexts Textmap
This textbook offers a thorough introduction to physical chemistry, covering foundational concepts, gas behavior, and detailed thermodynamics. It explores solutions, equilibrium, electrochemistry, acids and bases, and kinetics, including enzymes. Quantum mechanics leads to bonding theories, followed by intermolecular forces, spectroscopy, and photochemistry and ends with macromolecules, bridging theory with biological and real-world applications.

Everyday Entrepreneurs: 54 Stories of Opportunity, Risk, and Execution
Allan J. Graves, Miguel Colón, and Kathrina Q. Miranda · Chabot College
Entrepreneurship is often introduced through concepts: opportunity recognition, innovation, markets, business models, financing, leadership, and growth. Those concepts matter, but they become meaningful only when students can see how people use them under pressure. Entrepreneurship is ultimately practiced through decisions—what to build, whom to serve, what to risk, when to adapt, and how to turn an idea into an organization capable of creating value.

Mineralogy
Dexter Perkins et al. · University of North Dakota
Minerals are our planet. They form the Earth and the bedrock that we live on, making up all of Earth’s rocks and sediments, and they are important components in soils. So, they literally are the foundations for our lives. Perhaps because they are ubiquitous, most people don’t even notice them or consider that all rock is made of minerals.

Socialism, Capitalism and Alternatives
Peter J. S. Duncan and Elisabeth Schimpfössl · UCL Press
The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union discredited the idea of socialism for generations to come. It was seen as representing the final and irreversible victory of capitalism. This triumphal dominance was barely challenged until the 2008 financial crisis threw the Western world into a state of turmoil.

Biophysical Chemistry
Serge L. Smirnov and James McCarty · Western Washington University
We wrote this text to serve as the primary source for a series of Biophysical Chemistry courses that we regularly teach as faculty members of the Chemistry Department at Western Washington University, which serve the needs of undergraduate Biochemistry program. The present text is based on the assumption of what WWU Biochemistry majors know and do not know at the time they enter their final year of study toward Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry.

HKIN 110: Human Anatomy I for Kinesiology
Colin Wallace · Okanagan College
This text address human gross anatomy, focusing on the structural framework that supports the body’s vital physiological systems. Students will examine how the musculoskeletal and nervous systems interact to produce movement, posture, and coordination. Through lectures, visual materials, and practical applications, participants will learn to recognize and explain the major bones, muscles, and nerves of the human body, understanding their locations, functions, and interrelationships.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Harold Abelson, Gerald Sussman & Julie Sussman · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The material in this book has been the basis of MIT's entry-level computer science subject and emphasizes several new themes. The most important of these is the central role played by different approaches to dealing with time in computational models: objects with state, concurrent programming, functional programming, lazy evaluation, and nondeterministic programming. We have included new sections on concurrency and nondeterminism, and we have tried to integrate this theme throughout the book.
