Discussion for all OER things math.  Because that's where the cool kids hang out.

Hi everyone--I felt like we needed somehwere for math specific, and I'm happy to share things I'm familiar with.

One OER for Calculus that intersects with active learning (Inquiry Based Learning): https://activecalculus.org/

Thanks for starting the math group - I am working on OER for applied math (for welding, auto, ...)

I made a math(s) and stats folder in the group resources. I tried to save all the existing math and stats resources in the group to that folder.

I couldn't find these in the resources here when I looked (they may be updated later). 

Here are two applied algebra courses from Rogue Community College, CC BY NC SA,

"Algebra I"

"Algebra II"

This is a Firefighter Math book made for the USFS, and as far as I can tell is public domain because it's USgov't.  I used it for some of the problems it has, so it was kind of a reference.

In hunting it down, I found Oregon's OER website showing what their CCs and Universities are using--which may have redundancies with the OER commons, but may not--as I don't think the Rogue CC materials are in OER commons.
