A list of 200 Free & Open Textbooks
- nx 18y agoThis looks great, bookmarked it, but I am surprised that neither Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs or How to Design Programs are there.
- brianobush 18y agoyeah, that is the first text I looked for too. Looks as if all lisp/scheme books aren't there (On Lisp, etc) - maybe since they aren't text books?
- educ8or 18y agoThanks for the tip. I just added Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs to the open licensed textbook listing and added How to Design Programs to the copyrighted, non-open listing. Know of any other open textbooks that need to be added?
- barry-cotter 18y agohttp://www.smallparty.org/yoram/quantum/ http://www.smallparty.org/yoram/quantum/ Quantam Microeconomics by Yoram Bauman "The basic text, Quantum Microeconomics, is intended for use in introductory classes. A calculus-based version (unimaginatively titled Quantum Microeconomics with Calculus) is available for intermediate courses or math-intensive introductory courses, but it is much less polished. Both versions are covered by a Creative Commons license that establishes simple guidelines under which you (or anyone else) can freely use and/or modify the text for non-commercial purposes."
- educ8or 18y agoGreat suggestion. I just added to our site's list of open textbooks. Thanks, Judy
- rbanffy 18y agoHow come books like "Quick Start to Windows XP", "Quick Start to Word 2002", "Quick Start to Work 1997" and "Quick Start to Excel" are filed under "Computer Science"? "Windows Black Magic" or "Computer Relics With Little To No Historical Interest", at best.
- educ8or 18y agoYep, these topics are pretty dated. However, some community colleges still offer courses on these topics.
