Mathematics

A math instructor is looking for in-class worksheets that students do with paper and pencil that have answer keys for grading. In other words, My Open Math is the opposite of what she wants. Any leads?

I suggest checking OERCommons.org under both K-12 and undergrad levels. Also, try CK12.org  

MyOpenMath has a paper test generator built-in.  Essentially, it converts an online assignment into a word document.  Some clean-up is usually needed to remove tips that only apply to an online version.  It can print an answer key as well.  The advantage of this is there's a large pool of questions and template assignments to choose from.  The disadvantage is it would require some work.
Another option is to print (or copy-paste) the exercises from an OpenStax textbook.
If there's a particular course the instructor is looking for, it's likely there's a more specific OER document that's ready to use.
As an example, here's a lesson book for a Math Literacy/Quantitative Reasoning course which is designed for students to write in and also has an answer key available to instructors.
https://sacmath.net/math83oer 

Our math department is interested in OER but they want the ability to assign practice homework like they currently do using MyMathLab, Cengage or Hawkes. Is there anything available that is similar to these programs?

MyOpenMath is great option. It is free and accessible.  I am using for last few years.

Our department  has moved 100% of all of our classes over to
MyOpenMath.  David Lippman is the creator, but there is a very large
community of contributors to tens of thousands of math questions. It
is free and contains assignments connected to just about every OER
book out there.  If you want, I can Zoom chat with your department
about it and how to get it set up.
The link to MyOpenMath is:
https://www.myopenmath.com/
I had a grant a couple of years ago to connect the OpenStax math books
that we use to MyOpenMath and I created a getting started with OER
page that might help your faculty.  You can find it at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OQQ9xeLFWVNKRLNV3S8ZP5rHz7qZuWRuU_BgwYi62Vg/edit?usp=sharing

I hope this message finds you all well. We are in need of assistance for Math resources such as test banks for the following courses,
College Algebra, Elementary Statistics, Contemporary Mathematics, Trigonometry, Calculus I-III.
Any test banks for OER material would be useful. Thanks!

I hope you're doing well! My name is Lindsay Josephs, and I work for OpenStax.
We're an educational initiative based out of Rice University.
With the support of our philanthropic partners, we publish a library of 60+ free, peer-reviewed, openly licensed textbooks.
We offer free online math textbooks (as well as free instructor resources like LMS course cartridges, instructor solution manuals,
and lecture slides) for all the titles you mentioned. I've linked the texts below:
College Algebra
Elementary Statistics
Contemporary Mathematics
Trigonometry
Calculus I-III: Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3
Our full library of math textbooks can be accessed here.

Over the past several years, I have had multiple grants to create OER
math and statistics classes.  Most use modified versions of the
OpenStax books that I put on LibreTexts and I use the MyOpenMath
homework system.  I created a "Getting Started With Math OER" page
that can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OQQ9xeLFWVNKRLNV3S8ZP5rHz7qZuWRuU_BgwYi62Vg/edit?usp=sharing
It is pretty easy to change the homework assignments into exams.


Applied Technical Math
I have a faculty member who is working on curriculum for an Applied Technical Math course and is having a hard time finding material that has mechanical applications (she would would love Welding specific).  She is really looking for word problems.  If anyone has any suggestions that I could pass on, it would be appreciated!!

Our faculty has a nice page ‘Math explained’ with video’s: https://www.tudelft.nl/en/eemcs/study/online-education/math-explained/
But I think that’s math and mechanical. This material can be used. You will not find a Creative Commons license but that’s because they did not think about that.
A number of our community colleges were involved in the TAACCCT grants which involved developing openly licensed instructional materials for workforce development.  In particular the National STEM Consortium was an early and innovative grantee with 10 colleges who developed multiple career strands.  In particular, they developed a math course to support workforce instruction with the Open Learning Initiative program at Carnegie Mellon.   You can find out more about their program at these link and also a link to the openly licensed math course.  Please let me know if you need introductions.
http://www.nationalstem.org/
http://oli.cmu.edu/courses/all-oli-courses/stem-readiness/

Perhaps one of these would have something applicable?
SkillsCommons: https://www.skillscommons.org/  -- contains learning materials and program support materials for job-driven workforce development.
BCCampus Common Core Trades: https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?subject=Common%20Core

I have worked on an NSF grant with the welding instructors at my college and we have developed a decent amount of curriculum around math and welding.  Please pass on our website to her:  www.nwtc.edu/mathnsf.  If she is interested in more information there is a place to inquire about more information.

Arithmetic
Hi, colleagues,
A friend asked me to OER to replace texts in Geometry and Arithmetic courses. I recommended CK12. OpenStax will soon be releasing a pre-algebra book. Do you know of any other resources I can recommend?


Here's what's being used in Oregon:

Developmental Math — An Open Program: Arithmetic, Geometry and Statistics at http://www.nrocnetwork.org/system/files/resources/DM%20OpenText%20Units%201-8_042013.zip  and http://www.nrocnetwork.org/resource/devmath-open-textbooks-units-1-19-pdf-word-formats

Arithmetic for College Students by David Lippman Creative Commons Attribution license

Fundamentals of Mathematics by Denny Burzynski 
I'd also recommend http://utahmiddleschoolmath.org/ and http://www.mathematicsvisionproject.org/ .

Culinary Math
I’m in search of culinary math OER – things like scaling recipes, unit conversions, recipe costing and also adding/subtracting/multiplying fractions and finding the area of shapes. I’ve found some general math resources that are helpful, but would prefer to find more culinary or cooking-focused resources.

One resource I'd definitely check out is BC Campus's Trades materials, which includes a line of resources for Culinary Arts. The math might be in metric, however.
https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?subject=Professional%20Cook
SkillsCommons would be another place to dig.  

I know this has been years in the making, but this is a good opportunity to follow up with two OERs that address culinary math.
These were created in the past couple of years for Renton Tech's culinary and bakery math courses by Eunice Graham, one of our math faculty members:
Culinary Math
Bakery and Business Math
I'd be curious to know if you happened to find any other OER that fit your needs.
I also found some possibilities in Libretexts – Workforce (may just be different version of B.C. Campus.)

Business Calculus
Hope the semester start is going well.  I am looking for an OER Business Calculus text/learning platform (homework-quizzes-etc).  
Is www.myopenmath.com  the ultimate winner in this space?  
Are there better alternatives?

You may also want to look into WeBWork: https://webwork.maa.org
https://courses1.webwork.maa.org/webwork2    and the Open Problem Library: https://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Open_Problem_Library   
 

If you compare the three big technologies: WeBWorK, IMathAS (aka the technology behind OpenMath or Lumen's OHM) and H5P, you will find each tech has it strengths and weakness and trying to pick the winner depends strongly on many factors - security, flexibility, library size, accessibility, field etc. We decided to take a different route and are integrating all three (and others) together within the same infrastructure for maximum flexibility and utility, which we call QUERY or ADAPT depending on if you want adaptive learning trees backing your problems (customizable with analytics/machine learning etc).

We are in the infancy of this system, although a dozen plus courses are using bits and pieces of it already either summatively or formatively and embedded within their textbook (via LibreTexts or outside). I will be testing it out in my classes this academic year (~700 students total). This, admittedly longish video, shows the basics of the approach: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL83Q_gTbFatR74UV_Cbq0hZ3VvAxhRZJ3
and the QUERY library of about 90k problems, including the Open Problem Library that Anita mentioned can be pursued via https://QUERY.libretexts.org .
This a free to the community and supported by the US Department of Education and the California Education Learning Lab (although we will probably need next-to-nothing support to sustain in in the future, but since we are not trying to make a profit it won't be much).

Business Math

I have gotten a request from a Business Math instructor about potential OER for Business Math. I already have the excellent text, Business Math: A Step-by-Step Handbook, by J. Olivier on my short list... but, of course, the book has a Canadian focus. Some of the chapters are universal, but some of the chapters are not. Has anyone adapted, or started adapting, this text for the U.S.? Are there any other basic Business Math-specific OER texts out there that I am missing? 

Maybe the OpenStax “Intro to Business Statistics” will have valuable info in the first three chapters?

https://openstax.org/details/books/introductory-business-statistics

I recently put together the following list for an Applied Math for Business course.  One of the textbooks was the title you listed, the other two were:

·        Inigo, M., Jameson, J.,  Kozak, K.,  Lanzetta, M., & Sonier, K. (n.d.)  College Mathematics for Everyday Life  (2nd ed.) Coconino Community College. http://libraryguides.nau.edu/cccoer  Note: Topics include statistics, probability, finance, graph theory, etc.

Calculus
Active Calculus is an open textbook for calculus with an inquiry-based learning approach. The site for this book is: http://faculty.gvsu.edu/boelkinm/Home/Active_Calculus.html

I have a group of math faculty who are not opposed to OER but love their current book Calculus: Early Transcendental for many reasons. I do know there are quite a few options out there for Calculus which is why I’m reaching out here. Are there any math faculty who can recommend a book which has a “flow” very similar to the one mentioned above?

Hi Amanda,
We use the OpenStax Calculus textbook that also does early transcendentals.  My team built a full set MyOpenMath CCby assignments that go with the book.  The MyOpenMath course id is:  
30585  The sets link directly to the book and related videos.  Honestly, I have found that very few students read the textbook since they prefer to learn from the videos instead.  This was true even before we moved from the expensive textbook to the OER one.

As a layperson with an interest in math, it looks to me like Callahan’s “Calculus in Context” and Marsden and Weinstein’s Calculus I, II, and III come closest to the flow of the textbook you identify.
http://www.math.smith.edu/~callahan/
https://authors.library.caltech.edu/25030/

We constructed a Textmap (a Remix modeled after a commercial text) for Stewart's book for just this reason:
https://math.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Calculus/Map%3A_Calculus_-_Early_Transcendentals_(Stewart)
There is room to polish, but the framework is there. If this is what you want done, we can move it up our priority list.

Our faculty were looking for a replacement for Stewart’s Calculus too and ended up having the whole Math department work on editing Apex Calculus.  Our version is in our institutional repository at https://commons.und.edu/oers/2/


Calculus For Life Science
I’m wondering if anyone knows of a textbook or OER that might be appropriate for a course titled “Calculus for the Life Sciences”. I’ve been told that it can’t be “just calculus, but calculus for the life sciences”. 

As for open textbooks, this is one I found. It's a two volume title.

Health Science Math
One of our math faculty would like to switch to OER for a new course - Math for Careers in Health Science. This is big at Northern Essex CC! None of our math faculty use OER or have been open to talking about it, so therefore - I have never explored what is available. Although, I know there are lots of great resources that have been developed.
Here is the course description:
This course focuses on health-based mathematical applications using algebraic and arithmetic operations. The topics include the basic manipulation of fractions and decimals, the measurement systems and conversion procedures, percent, ratio and proportion, linear equations, topics in statistics, topics in health professions including dosages, dilutions and IV flow rates. This course is intended for careers in health science.

OpenStax offers a free, online, peer-reviewed Contemporary Mathematics textbook that may be of interest. This OER textbook includes a section titled "Math and Medicine". Instructors can use the entire book or select chapters and sections. Additionally, since this textbook is published under an open license, instructors can even customize the textbook (add content, remove content, rearrange content) using our Docx customization resource.
You can access Contemporary Mathematics here:

Math Anxiety

I worked on an OER grant project last year with an English faculty member to create an ENG101 course focused on math anxiety. At the time, I did some searching for a textbook, but didn’t find anything. Instead, the instructor used open access sources like web sites and articles from the library’s databases. She made her entire course public in Canvas Commons, so you can take a look at it, if you want. We included attributions/citations for all the readings so you can find them (or articles similar to them) in your own library databases. The instructor’s name is Gayatri Sirohi, and the course info as it appears in Canvas Commons is below.

Mathematics Education
Free, but not necessarily OER resources on growth mindset that I think are worth a look:
https://www.mindsetkit.org/
http://growthmindsetmemes.blogspot.com/2015/07/growth-mindset-blog-challenge-something.html  (the whole blog is worth exploring and I know the author is big on sharing and likely would explicitly license anything that she has created which is not clear)

I have a teacher that is looking to shift her course to OER resource(s) and is looking for a textbook.
The course is “Teaching Mathematics to Young Children” and is part of our Early Childhood Education program.
We are looking for a resource (or resources) that would cover as many of the objective and outcomes as possible.
We have done some preliminary searching, but have not had much luck.

K-12 Math and Technology Resources may provide some avenues to explore: https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/education-textbooks/2/


The description is “This document is a collaborative student work, comprising a directory of
 resources about mathematics and technology for kindergarten through fifth grade.
This resource was created with the support of an ALG Textbook Transformation Grant.
Topics include teaching and learning theories, problem solving, assessment,
equity, technological tools, and measurements.”

You may find this resource helpful - Teaching Math & Science to Young Children - Textbook

Math for Elementary Teachers
A faculty member is looking for open resources for MTH211, MTH212, and MTH213, Math for Elementary School Teachers. I just did a scan through the OTL, College Open Textbooks, OER Commons, and AIM but didn't find anything to recommend. Any suggestions?

You may want to try the resources at http://engagingmathematics.ipower.com/teaching-manuals/ . These are not textbooks but maybe some of the information can be remixed with other resources to meet the learning objectives of certain concepts. Their teaching manuals are CC BY NC SA
Hi all, thanks for the quick replies! A few suggestions rose to the top:

I am working with a faculty member who is searching for a mathematics for elementary teachers OER. Some of the topics included in the curriculum are: elementary number theory, multiple conceptual models and algorithms for the basic arithmetic operations, elementary set theory.

One of our faculty members developed this OER specifically for elementary teachers and mathematics:
http://pressbooks.oer.hawaii.edu/mathforelementaryteachers/
It can be easily cloned in Pressbooks, or used via one of the many other export file formats shown on the landing page dropdown menu.

I like the EngageNY modules.  They are mostly CC BY NC SA https://www.engageny.org/   

I will teach a class based on the subject of this email:  A Book for Math for Elementary School Teachers.  Does anyone have suggestions within the OER listings?  Here is the Course of Record too.

Eureka math is a great math curriculum also look up embarc for the videos to go with each lesson i hope this helps!

Math Literacy

I'm looking for OER textbooks or online homework for a Math Literacy pathway course.  This is a non-transferable course at the Beginning/Intermediate Algebra level but providing a foundation for Statistics or Math for Liberal Arts Majors.  Ideally the textbook would primarily use a contextual approach (based on real-world scenarios or applications).  It doesn't need to cover all the topics of an Intermediate Algebra course.  Which OER textbooks or online resources would be the best fit for this course?
The Open Textbook Store has some arithmetic books. You might want to check them out.

http://www.opentextbookstore.com/catalog.php

Also, A lot of math instructors like using my open math from Lumen--it is similar to my math lab. https://www.myopenmath.com/ Overcoming

Pre-Calculus/ College Algebra
We have a math faculty member who is doing a curriculum project on his College Algebra course and is considering using the OpenStax Algebra & Trig textbook. I am looking for connections to other faculty members who are currently using this textbook along with MyOpenMath. His biggest concern is moving away from the homework platform of MyMathLab. 
 
We just completed a grant where we created MyOpenMath assignments for most of the OpenStax math books including the Pre Calculus class.  You can find information about it at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OQQ9xeLFWVNKRLNV3S8ZP5rHz7qZuWRuU_BgwYi62Vg/edit?usp=sharing


You've gotten so many great responses that I'm not sure you need more, but you can use control-F to find that book and that platform on the Open Oregon Resources page: https://openoregon.org/resources. Where faculty are willing to be contacted about their course, they've included their name/email address on the right side of the page. 

Quantitative Reasoning

Coconino Community College has 2 open source (cc by sa) textbooks that may be helpful.  Here is the link:https://www.coconino.edu/open-source-textbooks
I've used the College Mathematics for Everyday Life for one of my courses and found it to be a well thought out work.
I currently am working on an OER resource (Mass Go Open grant)  for Quantitative Reasoning courses.  Quantitative Reasoning can cover a variety of topics in mathematics.  The resource that I am working on is not a stand alone textbook, rather, it is a set of links to a variety of topics that may be taught in a survey of math course.  When the resource is uploaded, I will send out the link.  
If you have materials that you would like me to consider for inclusion in the resource or topics that your school covers in their Quantitative Reasoning course, please send them along!

This list includes open textbooks broken up by topic,
with additional details on each page including the formats that the books are available in, their table of contents, and notes from reviewers.

Statistics and Math for Elementary School Teachers
I am a librarian working with faculty to find and adopt open textbooks for their courses. Several of the faculty members are interested in discovering what other colleges are using for the same, or similar, courses and seeing what worked or didn't work for them and their students. The two courses we are most interested in seeing what others are using are introductory statistics and mathematics for elementary school teachers (or something similar).
We are most interested in community college level material, but all input is welcome! I have had some trouble finding an OER textbook that replaces their current A Problem Solving Approach to Mathematics for Elementary Teachers textbook.

I have been using Illowsky's OER statistics book for several years now.  I have created an online homework system in the canvas LMS and have also created a Google Sheets spreadsheet program that does just about everything that is needed in terms of computation.  It is all open to use and modify as one wishes.  You can find my syllabus for this quarter at:

Online:  https://laketahoecc.instructure.com/courses/706/assignments/syllabus
Face to Face:  https://laketahoecc.instructure.com/courses/713/assignments/syllabus

The syllabi have links to the book and other materials.  If you want access to the Canvas homework system and the rest of the materials I can add the instructor to the course that is hosted by the state.  email me at drLarryGreen@gmail.com

I co-authored Intro Stats, published by OpenStax. It's now used at approximately 350 colleges and universities. My co-author and I wrote it for cc students. There are many CA CC colleges who use the text as well as CSUs.

There are 29,500 students this year using the OpenStax Introductory Statistics book.
I’ve attached a report of current adoptions of OpenStax by book, including for the Introductory Statistics book. I included all books because I thought others on this list might want this list for other books as well.

Three courses at our university are using an open textbook for statistics. Three small courses are using the OpenIntro Statistics book, while a large course of about 700 students (over two terms) is using Advanced high School Statistics. Both can be found here - https://www.openintro.org/stat/textbook.php

You can see what's being used in Oregon's community colleges for math here: http://openoregon.org/resources/?keyword=mth%20

http://rs.io/100-interesting-data-sets-for-statistics/
https://r-dir.com/reference/datasets.html
http://www.statsci.org/datasets.html

I believe that the OpenIntro Statistics Books have open access data sets through the website. - https://www.openintro.org/index.php

I'm in a meeting with a math faculty member who is teaching Statistics for the first time at our institution.
She is using OER, but is really frustrated that in the open materials she examined gender is presented multiple times as a binary.
Has anyone started/participated in/ found out about any Statistics resources that present gender as much more complicated than a simple binary?

I am currently on the continuous improvement team at Lumen, and we are actively making changes to all of our courses for better inclusivity – including gender.
We are frequently alerted to changes that we need to make by suggestions from students,
and I would love to work with your faculty member in making changes and updates to our introductory
Concepts in Statistics course: https://lumenlearning.com/courses/concepts-in-statistics/  (she can access the OER by clicking "view course content and outcomes")

We are looking for OER case studies or projects that cover:
Social Justice
Climate Change
Public Health
These will be used as part of our dual-enrollment statistics course to build a bridge to college for high school students.

 I think this might be useful:
Statistics for Social Justice Studies – Canvas Commons
This workbook is primarily organized into modules that correspond with topics commonly presented in an introductory statistics class. The Table of Contents lists these modules, topics, and activities, along with the alignment to the OpenStax Statistics textbook. An alignment of the modules to several other texts is available in “For Instructors.”

Am seeking on behalf of Math faculty datasets which faculty are using in Math & Society and Statistics.
We are aware that there are lots of social justice and other datasets which exist, but those which other Math instructors are currently
using may have a manageable scope and size for 1st year, community college students to work with. We will make a
Spokane Community College library guide if we're able to assemble even a small group of usable datasets.
Thanks for any contributions or advice.

Carleton College has a collection of CC-licensed instruction materials that include some activities centered around data/statistics
and climate (hopefully this link works):
https://serc.carleton.edu/sp/search.html?q1=sercvocabs__72%3A2&q2=sercvocabs__43%3A4&q3=sercvocabs__43%3A120
A lot of the activities seem to be on the older side, though, and external links seem pretty iffy.
I'm hoping it'll still be useful as examples of in-class activities with paired datasets that likely still exist but are now at different URLs.
I hope you're able to gather some other materials as well! I'd love for there to be more examples of stuff like this out there.

I am helping a math faculty member with their Statistics course. For anyone using OpenStax Introductory Statistics, is there a free replacement for the TI 83 or TI 84 calculators that are mentioned throughout the text as necessary to complete exercises?
This would need to be a free program, site, etc. that would be able to perform distributions, probabilities, and other statistical functions.

I coded up a statistics calculator that I use with my statistics
class.  I remixed the OpenStax textbook so that it shows my calculator
instead of the TI 84.  They are fully OER, and both can be found on
LibreTexts:
Calculator:

Remixed Textbook:

My broader collection if statistics calculators and activities can be

https://stats.libretexts.org/Learning_Objects/02%3A_Interactive_Statistics
 
I asked one of our learning support specialists who works with math extensively. He recommended the following:
https://www.stattrek.com
For graphing:
https://www.geogebra.org/graphing
https://www.desmos.com/calculator

When I've taught statistics out of an OER, I often used LibreOffice Calc and/or Excel for these basic calculational tasks.  
It's quite easy, the students either are already somewhat familiar with spreadsheets or this gives them a gentle introduction,
and it scales well from tiny toy examples up to fairly reasonably sized datasets (for an intro to stats course, at least). And Excel tends to be installed on most campus computers,
while LibreOffice is a free and FLOSS alternative I can suggest for students to use on their own computers, if they don't already have MS Office.
There also tend to be so very many websites with particular "calculators" -- a T-test calculator, a regression grapher, etc., etc., etc. ... you name,
there's probably at least a half-dozen free online tools.  They change all the time and some have clunky interfaces,
but I think they probably are all reasonably accurate (unless someone is using ChatGPT to drive one of these, in which case it's probably garbage!).  
I would often search of "free online <name of statistical thing> calculator" when I was starting that unit of the course, look over what came up and share a list with my students ...
with a positive or negative review in a couple of lines, to point out issues that come up, in the eyes of an expert, when using one of the first-returned search results.  
Because you know any internet-literate student is doing the same search and using what comes up first or second.


Symbolic Algebra Systems

I use Open Source texts and MyOpenMath for all of my mathematics courses at American River College. I also use GeoGebra for some activities, including deriving 1/2g from a timelaps photograph of a ball being thrown. 

Years ago there was an excellent application called LiveMath (a successor to Theorist and MathView) which did not solve equations, but instead required students preform the necessary steps to reach a solution. Each step was shown. If an earlier value was changed the computations would be recalculated. For more advanced courses it also had the ability to use transformation rules to use identities. (LiveMath itself is still available, but updates have not been available for Linux since 2011.) 

Are there any existing symbolic algebra applications (open source or not) that have these qualities? 

Attached is a screen image showing some of the features and how nicely the results were rendered. 

I have a Math faculty member interested in MyMathLab & WebAssign alternatives. I sent her information about MyOpenMath and WebWork and she is looking into them. In the meantime, she would like to know specific colleges that are using these programs. Also, are there any other OER or low cost alternatives to MyMathLab & WebAssign?

We are using MOM in all of our essential math courses at American River College and Math Ideas courses. We've also created three courses including an intermediate algebra course that matches the curriculum of one of the most popular intermediate algebra texts, Marge Lial, also written by a former ARC mathematics professor. 

The intermediate algebra course is not yet a template course, but is available to all who ask. 

A few Math faculty at HCC are using WeBWorK.  The is some cost for the IT support needed. 
In your area, Santiago Canyon College, Santa Ana College and Cerritos College are using MyOpenMath significantly.  Using WebAssign with an OER textbook could help ease the transition for faculty already familiar with it.  If it helps, I'd be happy to talk by phone with Math faculty at OCC about our experience with MyOpenMath.

Test Preparation
 I'm gathering resources for our folks preparing to take our math assessment (will do the same for English and Reading tomorrow - students are back Monday!).  
I tend to focus on the lower level -- here's what I've found so far ... additions/suggestions welcome (I'm also trying to put together an even more basic "so you decided you're sick of not knowing your times tables" module together... JavaScript/CSS/HTML is a powerful combination!)  
 Suggested additions welcome!

Susan - colleagues at Jacksonville State have been using OER for developmental math and language. Courtney Peppers and colleagues have rich empirical support for their resources and pedagogy. I'd reach out for more information as I don't believe their resources are widely published.

Topology
For an independent study I want to do with an eager math student:
Does anyone know of an OER for basic topology? Starting with point-set topology, doing fundamental group, probably basic homology...?
And/or basic differential geometry?
I've looked in all the usual places, and haven't found anything great! (or really anything at all)
...I know this is a fairly advanced topic in the undergrad mathematics curriculum and so maybe related OER don't exist (yet!), but I thought I'd just ask.
For that matter, if anyone on this list is a math person with maybe just some openly licensed lecture notes or handouts or anything of that kind
(or who has a colleague who might have such things), I'd be happy to pull them together into the start of a topology OER.

Via a colleague whose dissertation was on topology (and who co-authored a 700pp Precalc OER):

Veterinary Math
One of our math faculty is working with our veterinary technician faculty to design a one-credit hour course for practical veterinary technology math skills. Any ideas or suggestions for a text?

I found 34 resources in the MERLOT collection, including some textbooks:

In addition to the previous suggestions, there are a few "math for..." OER being used in Oregon:
