Intermediate Microeconomics is an approachable yet rigorous textbook that covers the entire scope of traditional microeconomic theory and includes two mathematical approaches, allowing instructors to teach the material with or without calculus. With real-world policy topics as an entree into each subject, Intermediate Microeconomics will help students engage with the material and facilitate learning not only the concepts, but their importance and application as well.9532021-01-30T21:04:10Z2024-01-22T14:52:23ZAll Things Flow: Fluid Mechanics for the Natural Sciences<img alt="Read more about All Things Flow: Fluid Mechanics for the Natural Sciences" title="All Things Flow: Fluid Mechanics for the Natural Sciences cover image" class="cover " width="384" height="497" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjAxMywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--e0b39702a6e07412f541ffe811b1399ea77144a3/1769jwgm-front-shortedge-384.jpg" />This book began as lecture notes for an Oregon State University course in fluid mechanics, designed for beginning graduate students in physical oceanography. Because of its fundamental nature, this course is often taken by students outside physical oceanography, e.g., atmospheric science, civil engineering, physics and mathematics. In later courses, the student will discover esoteric fluid phenomena such as internal waves that propagate through the sky, water phase changes that govern clouds, and planetary rotation effects that control large-scale winds and ocean currents. In contrast, this course concerns phenomena that we have all been familiar with since childhood: flows you see in sinks and bathtubs, in rivers, and at the beach. In this context, we develop the mathematical techniques and scientific reasoning skills needed for higher-level courses and professional research.9252020-10-19T02:09:50Z2024-01-22T19:04:03ZFirst Semester in Numerical Analysis with Python<img alt="Read more about First Semester in Numerical Analysis with Python" title="First Semester in Numerical Analysis with Python cover image" class="cover " width="611" height="678" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTY1MywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--5c62bc2558ad896ff74a1077a2bebdfa5eef586a/Numerical%20analysis.PNG" />The book is based on “First semester in Numerical Analysis with Julia”, written by Giray Ökten. The contents of the original book are retained, while all the algorithms are implemented in Python (Version 3.8.0). Python is an open source (under OSI), interpreted, general-purpose programming language that has a large number of users around the world. Python is ranked the third in August 2020 by the TIOBE programming community index, a measure of popularity of programming languages, and is the top-ranked interpreted language. We hope this book will better serve readers who are interested in a first course in Numerical Analysis, but are more familiar with Python for the implementation of the algorithms. The first chapter of the book has a self-contained tutorial for Python, including how to set up the computer environment. Anaconda, the open-source individual edition, is recommended for an easy installation of Python and effortless management of Python packages, and the Jupyter environment, a web-based interactive development environment for Python as well as many other programming languages, was used throughout the book and is recommended to the readers for easy code development, graph visualization and reproducibility.9182020-10-06T21:21:41Z2024-01-22T14:52:12ZIntroductory Chemistry - 1st Canadian Edition<img alt="Read more about Introductory Chemistry - 1st Canadian Edition" title="Introductory Chemistry - 1st Canadian Edition cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTYxNywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--9b2e38321ee74e90cfa1e5248f5a773e59da3fff/introchem.jpg" />The goal of this textbook is not to make you an expert. True expertise in any field is a years-long endeavor. Here I will survey some of the basic topics of chemistry. This survey should give you enough knowledge to appreciate the impact of chemistry in everyday life and, if necessary, prepare you for additional instruction in chemistry.8502020-06-27T15:20:25Z2024-01-22T14:52:16ZElementary Abstract Algebra: Examples and Applications<img alt="Read more about Elementary Abstract Algebra: Examples and Applications" title="Elementary Abstract Algebra: Examples and Applications cover image" class="cover " width="652" height="844" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEwNiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--e9453b402203a9769eb78785b354fc6c2917cc31/elemabsalg.png" />This book is not intended for budding mathematicians. It was created for a math program in which most of the students in upper-level math classes are planning to become secondary school teachers. For such students, conventional abstract algebra texts are practically incomprehensible, both in style and in content. Faced with this situation, we decided to create a book that our students could actually read for themselves. In this way we have been able to dedicate class time to problem-solving and personal interaction rather than rehashing the same material in lecture format.8272021-08-25T22:14:16Z2024-01-22T14:52:26ZInformal Calculus with Applications to Biological and Environmental Sciences<img alt="Read more about Informal Calculus with Applications to Biological and Environmental Sciences" title="Informal Calculus with Applications to Biological and Environmental Sciences cover image" class="cover " width="683" height="1024" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjQzMSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--fd62009f471a9c9a44d1fb1fdc526ccb0dd40c59/informal%20calculus%20book%20cover.jpg" />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.8222020-04-20T16:09:09Z2024-03-10T04:52:07ZA Quick Guide to Quantitative Research in the Social Sciences<img alt="Read more about A Quick Guide to Quantitative Research in the Social Sciences" title="A Quick Guide to Quantitative Research in the Social Sciences cover image" class="cover " width="555" height="785" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6ODc2LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--48f8d51f164a7bcebf369082f538aad529918bb6/0000QuiQuaSoc.jpg" />This resource is intended as an easy-to-use guide for anyone who needs some quick and simple advice on quantitative aspects of research in social sciences, covering subjects such as education, sociology, business, nursing. If you area qualitative researcher who needs to venture into the world of numbers, or a student instructed to undertake a quantitative research project despite a hatred for maths, then this booklet should be a real help. The booklet was amended in 2022 to take into account previous review comments.8102020-03-01T00:00:20Z2024-01-22T14:52:05ZIntroduction to Curriculum for Early Childhood Education<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Curriculum for Early Childhood Education" title="Introduction to Curriculum for Early Childhood Education cover image" class="cover " width="558" height="722" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzY5LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--68caf47721bf3759afb9a693635307ded8ae0db4/0000IntCurChi.png" />Welcome to learning about how to effectively plan curriculum for young children. This textbook will address: Developing curriculum through the planning cycle Theories that inform what we know about how children learn and the best ways for teachers to support learning The three components of developmentally appropriate practice Importance and value of play and intentional teaching Different models of curriculum Process of lesson planning (documenting planned experiences for children) Physical, temporal, and social environments that set the stage for children’s learning Appropriate guidance techniques to support children’s behaviors as the self-regulation abilities mature. Planning for preschool-aged children in specific domains including Physical development Language and literacy Math Science Creative (the visual and performing arts) Diversity (social science and history) Health and safety How curriculum planning for infants and toddlers is different from planning for older children Supporting school-aged children’s learning and development in out-of-school time through curriculum planning Making children’s learning visible through documentation and assessment8022020-01-17T20:19:25Z2024-01-22T14:52:05ZIntroduction to Game Theory: a Discovery Approach<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Game Theory: a Discovery Approach" title="Introduction to Game Theory: a Discovery Approach cover image" class="cover " width="652" height="844" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzYxLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--22e6c8ab3f379147eef5812a1fec8b1f8a235c68/0000IntGamThe.png" />Game theory is an excellent topic for a non-majors quantitative course as it develops mathematical models to understand human behavior in social, political, and economic settings. The variety of applications can appeal to a broad range of students. Additionally, students can learn mathematics through playing games, something many choose to do in their spare time! This text also includes an exploration of the ideas of game theory through the rich context of popular culture. It contains sections on applications of the concepts to popular culture. It suggests films, television shows, and novels with themes from game theory. The questions in each of these sections are intended to serve as essay prompts for writing assignments.
