Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation
Shriram Krishnamurthi · Brown University · 2007
Unlike some other textbooks, this one does not follow a top-down narrative. Rather it has the flow of a conversation, with backtracking. We will often build up programs incrementally, just as a pair of programmers would. We will include mistakes, not because I don't know the answer, but because this is the best way for you to learn. Including mistakes makes it impossible for you to read passively: you must instead engage with the material, because you can never be sure of the veracity of what you're reading. At the end, you'll always get to the right answer. However, this non-linear path is more frustrating in the short term (you will often be tempted to say, “Just tell me the answer, already!”), and it makes the book a poor reference guide (you can't open up to a random page and be sure what it says is correct). However, that feeling of frustration is the sensation of learning. I don't know of a way around it. At various points you will encounter this: ExerciseThis is an exercise. Do try it. This is a traditional textbook exercise. It's something you need to do on your own. If you're using this book as part of a course, this may very well have been assigned as homework. In contrast, you will also find exercise-like questions that look like this: Do Now!There's an activity here! Do you see it? When you get to one of these, stop. Read, think, and formulate an answer before you proceed. You must do this because this is actually an exercise, but the answer is already in the book—most often in the text immediately following (i.e., in the part you're reading right now)—or is something you can determine for yourself by running a program. If you just read on, you'll see the answer without having thought about it (or not see it at all, if the instructions are to run a program), so you will get to neither (a) test your knowledge, nor (b) improve your intuitions. In other words, these are additional, explicit attempts to encourage active learning. Ultimately, however, I can o

Financial and Managerial Accounting
Lolita Paff · Pennsylvania State University · 2021
Textbook prices for introductory accounting courses are typically very high and new editions are frequently introduced, limiting the resale value and use of older editions. Simply put, a free, open-source textbook increases accessibility by eliminating the cost barrier. Free is my favorite price! Second... Accounting textbooks also commonly seen as… BORING! This book is uniquely constructed to integrate reading, video tutorials, links and practice to make learning… dare I write it… FUN! OK, maybe that’s overstating a bit, but this is not your typical accounting text.

Advanced Macroeconomics: An Easy Guide
Filipe Campante; Federico Sturzenegger; Andrés Velasco · LSE Press · 2021
Macroeconomic policy is one of the most important policy domains, and the tools of macroeconomics are among the most valuable for policy makers. Yet there has been, up to now, a wide gulf between the level at which macroeconomics is taught at the undergraduate level and the level at which it is practiced. At the same time, doctoral-level textbooks are usually not targeted at a policy audience, making advanced macroeconomics less accessible to current and aspiring practitioners. This book, born out of the Masters course the authors taught for many years at the Harvard Kennedy School, fills this gap. It introduces the tools of dynamic optimization in the context of economic growth, and then applies them to a wide range of policy questions – ranging from pensions, consumption, investment and finance, to the most recent developments in fiscal and monetary policy. It does so with the requisite rigor, but also with a light touch, and an unyielding focus on their application to policy-making, as befits the authors’ own practical experience. Advanced Macroeconomics: An Easy Guide is bound to become a great resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and practitioners alike.

OpenStax Algebra 1 is a high-quality instructional material (HQIM) that is flexible enough for core adoption and adaptable enough to support a wide range of teaching strategies and student needs. Algebra 1 is a research-backed curriculum designed to strengthen teaching and learning in all classrooms. The OpenStax Algebra 1 curriculum is structured across nine units that guide students from linear to exponential to quadratic functions, emphasizing how these patterns differ. Students explore mathematical relationships through tables, equations, graphs, and real-world contexts, beginning with patterns of repeated addition or subtraction (linear), moving into multiplication or division (exponential), and culminating in models that both increase and decrease (quadratic). Each unit includes a readiness pre-assessment, multiple content sections, section assessments, and ends with a project, quizzes, and a wrap-up. The curriculum is designed to support coherent instruction, continuous assessment, and student engagement throughout the school year. Through our free, digital teacher guide (available within the “instructor resources” section of the website), teachers receive clear learning targets, prerequisite skill guidance, videos, and a breakdown of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) addressed in every lesson. Algebra 1 was authored by OpenStax and is based, in part, on the OpenStax Pre Algebra, Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and College Algebra materials, and the IM 6-12TM by Illustrative Mathematics®.

Mi Voz. Mi Historia. Español Para Estudiantes de Herencia
Carolina Moctezuma · The Pennsylvania Alliance for Design of Open Textbooks (PA-ADOPT) · 2025
This book consists of both original material and a compilation of other OER activities designed to provide tools and opportunities for heritage students to explore and learn about their roots and spoken language. Together, these materials and activities target the specific language learning needs of students who grew up in a Spanish-speaking household with either their parents, grandparents, or other family. In addition to targeting oral and written language learning objectives that reflect their dialectal backgrounds, this book emphasizes cultural aspects not featured in most English or Spanish courses. Knowledge and skills in language and culture foster a positive ethnic identity for heritage students, which studies have shown lead to academic success. The text features four units. Unit I starts by asking questions to help students develop self-awareness and comfort with their personal Spanish speaking abilities, experience in formal classroom settings, and their goals with the language. Unit II focuses on the benefits of being bilingual and appreciating one’s bilingual identity. Unit III explores the use of Spanglish, language and personal identity, and code switching. Unit IV explores the evolution of the Spanish language and the cultural and linguistic influences that have shaped this diverse and rich language. Each unit also includes grammar topics that heritage speakers commonly struggle with in their writing, as well as sections emphasizing culture as it relates to history and identities.
