  Interactive Data Visualization

  Timothy James Becker

  This open educational resource (OER) is intended as the basis for an undergraduate course (14 week) where the students have already been exposed to at least one semester of a high-level programming language such as Python. The intended student does not have to be familiar with web programming standards: HTML, CSS and JavaScript since we review those aspects initially. We present the material as a series of jupyter notebooks intended to be run by the student using a standard python3 kernel attached to a scientific python distribution such as Anaconda. These notebooks contain cells which are markup (which is compatible with HTML5) or code (in one of the supported programming languages such as python). When hosted on a platform like google collaborate, they allow the user to view the text, click on hyperlinks and also run some of the python code examples that illustrate the visualization and machine learning methods. If using a platform such as GitHub, the rendered jupyter notebooks will not have a running kernel attached and will therefore not execute python code. The foundational components for practice will be client-side web applications consisting of a folder which HTML, CSS, JS and data files inside (such as CSV and JSON formats). We include appendix sections that have some details in setting up a development environment and for hosting a finished visualization on github.io.

  Social and Regional Dialects of Spanish

  Emily Kuder

  Este libro presenta un curso a nivel intermédio-avanzado que emplea recursos ya existentes y materiales creados por su creadora, Doctora Emily Kuder, para facililar el aprendizaje de temas relacionados a la dialectología y sociolingüística hispana a través de recursos abiertamente disponible. El libro puede ser usado por un aprendiz motivado como un curso autoguiado o por un grupo de aprendices en una clase convencional como un libro de texto.

  This book presents an intermediate-advanced level course that employs preexisting resources and materials created by the author, Dr. Emily Kuder, to facilitate the learning of topics related to hispanic dialectology and sociolinguistics through openly available content. The book can be used by learners as a self-guided course or by a group of learners in a conventional class as a textbook.

  The Art of Analysis

  Christopher Hammond

  Christopher Hammond, Professor of Mathematics at Connecticut College, has written an introductory textbook in real analysis. This resource is freely available for anyone to use, either individually or in a classroom setting.

  The primary innovation of this text is a new perspective on teaching the theory of integration. Most introductory analysis courses focus initially on the Riemann integral, with other definitions discussed later (if at all). The paradigm being proposed is that the Riemann integral and the “generalized Riemann integral” should be considered simultaneously, not separately – in the same manner as uniform continuity and continuity. Riemann integrability is simply a special case of integrability, with particular properties that are worth noting. This point of view has implications for the treatment of other topics, particularly continuity and differentiability.

  Form and Content: An Introduction to Formal Logic

  Derek D. Turner

  Derek Turner, Professor of Philosophy, has written an introductory logic textbook that students at Connecticut College, or anywhere, can access for free. The book differs from other standard logic textbooks in its reliance on fun, low-stakes examples involving dinosaurs, a dog and his friends, etc.
