Critical Reasoning: A User's Manual
Jason Southworth & Chris Swoyer · Fort Hays State & University University of Oklahoma
Teaching critical reasoning is difficult. So is learning to reason more carefully and accurately. The greatest challenge is teaching (and learning) skills in such a way that students can spontaneously apply them outside the classroom once the course is over (teaching people to apply skills in the classroom can be hard enough, but clearly isn’t a worthwhile goal in itself).

Abstract Algebra I
Pamini Thangarajah · Mount Royal University
Abstract algebra is a fascinating area of study within mathematics that explores the intricacies of algebraic structures such as groups, rings, and fields. These structures are defined using abstract axioms, and the focus is on understanding their properties independently of any specific mathematical objects or physical systems. It is a highly abstract and theoretical field, but one that has practical applications in areas such as computer science, physics, chemistry and engineering.
