Ask HN: Creatively commons or open CS, Math, technical textbooks
I know about the classic SICP book but it is difficult to come across computer science textbooks that are Creative Commons licensed or allow open use of the text. Has anybody come across high quality open textbooks?

For CS, check: https://www.reddit.com/r/csbooks/ https://www.reddit.com/r/csbooks/ For more maths, and other topics, see: http://www.reddit.com/r/eebooks http://www.reddit.com/r/eebooks http://www.reddit.com/r/mathbooks http://www.reddit.com/r/mathbooks http://www.reddit.com/r/physicsbooks http://www.reddit.com/r/physicsbooks http://www.reddit.com/r/econbooks http://www.reddit.com/r/econbooks For yet more on maths, see: https://aimath.org/textbooks/approved-textbooks/ https://aimath.org/textbooks/approved-textbooks/

- joedavnport2 8y agoif you feel the desire to branch out into specific applications, i can point out there are some technical manuals in this area that relates, in specificity, to music: http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/ http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/ http://msp.ucsd.edu/techniques.htm http://msp.ucsd.edu/techniques.htm - it is higly likely one would need a budget for additional publications, were they to explore this subject in detail. isn't it also possible to learn CS from documents on a chosen module?
