Intermediate Statistics with R
Copyright Year: 2021
Contributor: Greenwood
Publisher: Montana State University
License: CC BY-NC
Introductory statistics courses prepare students to think statistically but cover relatively few statistical methods. Building on the basic statistical thinking emphasized in an introductory course, a second course in statistics at the undergraduate level can explore a large number of statistical methods. This text covers more advanced graphical summaries, One-Way ANOVA with pair-wise comparisons, Two-Way ANOVA, Chi-square testing, and simple and multiple linear regression models. Models with interactions are discussed in the Two-Way ANOVA and multiple linear regression setting with categorical explanatory variables. Randomization-based inferences are used to introduce new parametric distributions and to enhance understanding of what evidence against the null hypothesis “looks like”. Throughout, the use of the statistical software R via Rstudio is emphasized with all useful code and data sets provided within the text. This is Version 3.0 of the book.

Introduction to Statistical Thinking
Copyright Year: 2010
Contributor: Yakir
Publisher: Benjamin Yakir
License: CC BY
The target audience for this book is college students who are required to learn statistics, students with little background in mathematics and often no motivation to learn more. It is assumed that the students do have basic skills in using computers and have access to one. Moreover, it is assumed that the students are willing to actively follow the discussion in the text, to practice, and more importantly, to think.

Informal Calculus with Applications to Biological and Environmental Sciences
Copyright Year: 2021
Contributors: Seacrest, Seacrest, Levine, and Anderson
Publisher: TRAILS
License: CC BY
This book is an approachable introduction to calculus with applications to biology and environmental science. For example, one application in the book is determining the volume of earth moved in the 1959 earthquake that created Quake Lake. Another application uses differential equations to model various biological examples, including moose and wolf populations at Isle Royale National Park, ranavirus in amphibians, and competing species of protozoa. The text focuses on intuitive understanding of concepts, but still covers most of the algebra and calculations common in a survey of calculus course.

Elementary Calculus
Copyright Year: 2020
Contributor: Corral
Publisher: Michael Corral
License: Free Documentation License (GNU)
This textbook covers calculus of a single variable, suitable for a year-long (or two-semester) course. Chapters 1-5 cover Calculus I, while Chapters 6-9 cover Calculus II. The book is designed for students who have completed courses in high-school algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Though designed for college students, it could also be used in high schools. The traditional topics are covered, but the old idea of an infinitesimal is resurrected, owing to its usefulness (especially in the sciences).

Extra pearls in graph theory
Copyright Year: 2020
Contributor: Petrunin

I used these topics together with the textbook "Pearls in graph theory" to teach an undergraduate course in graph theory at the Pennsylvania State University. I tried to keep clarity and simplicity on the same level.
