This introductory probability book, published by the American Mathematical Society, is available from AMS bookshop.

It has, since publication, also been available for download here in pdf format. We are pleased that this has made our book more widely available. We are pleased to announce that our book has now been made freely redistributable under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL), as published by the Free Software Foundation. Briefly stated, the FDL permits you to do whatever you like with a work, as long as you don't prevent anyone else from doing what they like with it. This is the same license that is used for the Wikipedia. Thanks: We owe our ability to distribute this work under the FDL to the far-sightedness of the American Mathematical Society.

Our book emphasizes the use of computing to simulate experiments and make computations. Note: Natalie Harmann has provided a Polish translation of this web page. Contributions to the GNU version of our book. Table of Contents (PNG: The Definitive Guide) O'Reilly Open Books Project. O'Reilly has published a number of Open Books--books with various forms of "open" copyright--over the years. The reasons for "opening" copyright, as well as the specific license agreements under which they are opened, are as varied as our authors.

Perhaps a book was outdated enough to be put out of print, yet some people still needed the information it covered. Or the author or subject of a book felt strongly that it should be published under a particular open copyright. Maybe the book was written collectively by a particular community, as in the case of our Community Press books. But there's more to making Open Books available online than simply adopting an open license or giving up rights granted under copyright law. The print books need to be converted to a digital format so that they're accessible via the web. While the books listed here use various open licenses, since 2003 we've focused on using the licenses created by Creative Commons.

The Online Books Page. Welcome to the Global Text Project | Global Text Project. Free Books from Samizdat Press. Free textbooks. From WikiEducator A book shelf project. This is a starter page for the Free Textbooks group that came together during the iCommons Summit in Dubrovnik, Croatia in June 2007. The group's focus is on developing free textbooks (also by using public domain books and other other materials). We seek both to find ways to work together and also to find best practices when working apart. We have a mailing list - please, join us! How to run a successful free textbook project? Create a knowledge base which will help educators from all over the world starting and running Free Textbook project. There are not enough consistent volunteers to write free high school text books Writing free textbooks is different from other free education initiatives, and therefore our approaches to dealing with issues may need to be different.

Some projects e.g. Online contributions are not enough. Textbooks are seriously underutilised. Existing Free Textbooks Please, add unlisted FT projects here Ideas for projects. The Assayer. Online texts. Professor Jim Herod and I have written Multivariable Calculus ,a book which we and a few others have used here at Georgia Tech for two years. We have also proposed that this be the first calculus course in the curriculum here, but that is another story.... Although it is still in print, Calculus,by Gilbert Strang is made available through MIT's OpenCourseWare electronic publishing initiative. Here is one that has also been used here at Georgia Tech. Linear Methods of Applied Mathematics, by Evans Harrell and James Herod. Yet another one produced at Georgia Tech is Linear Algebra, Infinite Dimensions, and Maple, by James Herod. I have also written a modest book, Complex Analysis, which I have used in our introductory undergraduate complex analysis course here.

Complex Variables, by Robert Ash and W. TextbookRevolution.
