Building Information - Representation and Management
Alexander Koutamanis · Delft University of Technology
The book presents a coherent theory of building information, focusing on its representation and management in the digital era. It addresses issues such as the information explosion and the structure of analog building representations to propose a parsimonious approach to the deployment and utilization of symbolic digital technologies like BIM.

Pharo by Example 5.0
Ducasse, Zagidulin, Hess, and Chloupis · LibreTexts
Pharo by Example 5.0, intended for both students and developers, will guide you gently through the Pharo language and environment by means of a series of examples and exercises. In Pharo everything is an object, and anything can change at run-time under your fingers. Pharo is written in itself so you can explore a complete world. You can feel and talk to objects.

Polymer Chemistry
David Whisnant · Wofford College
Polymers are giant molecules (also called macromolecules) that are essential to our existence. They are important chemicals in our bodies (proteins, DNA), in plants (starch, cellulose), and in our everyday lives (fibers, plastics). Polymers are made by transforming small molecules (monomers) into molecules with very large molecular weights. Although the chemical properties of polymers are similar to those of analogous small molecules, their physical properties are quite different.

Intermediate Fluid Mechanics
James Liburdy · Oregon State University
This book is meant to be a second course in fluid mechanics that stresses applications dealing with external potential flows and intermediate viscous flows. Students are expected to have some background in some of the fundamental concepts of the definition of a fluid, hydrostatics, use of control volume conservation principles, initial exposure to the Navier-Stokes equations, and some elements of flow kinematics, such as streamlines and vorticity.

Fundamentals of Transportation
David Levinson et al. · Wikibook
This text is aimed at undergraduate civil engineering students, though the material may provide a useful review for practitioners and graduate students in transportation. Often this is the first engineering course students take, which requires a switch in thinking from simply solving given problems to formulating the problem mathematically before solving it, i.e. from straight-forward calculation often found in undergraduate Calculus to vaguer word problems more reflective of the real world.

Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science
Mark A. Fitch · University of Alaska Anchorage
In class materials for an introduction to logic, proof, enumeration, relations, and graph theory for lower division undergraduate students of computer science and computer systems engineering. These materials were designed to introduce concepts of logic and discrete mathematics via carefully picked problems that test understanding of definitions. Another source of exercises is required at this time.

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.

Climate Toolkit - A Resource Manual for Science and Action
Frank Granshaw · Portland State University
The Climate Toolkit is a resource manual designed to help the reader navigate the complex and perplexing issue of climate change by providing tools and strategies to explore the underlying science. As such it contains a collection of activities that make use of readily available on-line resources developed by research groups and public agencies. These include web-based climate models, climate data archives, interactive atlases, policy papers, and “solution” catalogs.

Laboratory Manual - Computer Programming with Python, Multisim and TINA/4E
James M. Fiore · Mohawk Valley Community College
This laboratory manual is intended for use in an introductory computer programming course for electrical engineering technology students. It begins with a basic explanation of schematic capture and simulation tools and proceeds to the Python programming language.

Think Java - How to Think Like a Computer Scientist
Allen B. Downey · lin College
Think Java is an introduction to computer science and programming intended for readers with little or no experience. We start with the most basic concepts and are careful to define all terms when they are first used. The book presents each new idea in a logical progression. Larger topics, like recursion and object-oriented programming, are divided into smaller examples and introduced over the course of several chapters.

Algorithm Design and Analysis
Godfry Justo · African Virtual University
There are both practical and theoretical reasons to study algorithms. From a practical standpoint, you have to know a standard set of important algorithms from different areas of computing; in addition, you should be able to design new algorithms and analyze their efficiency. From the theoretical standpoint, the study of algorithms, sometimes called algorithmics, has come to be as the cornerstone of computer science.
