Open Educational Resources (OER): Mathematics

"A repository of freely downloadable mathematical works hosted by the American Mathematical Society."

This project aimed to build inter-connectivity between two powerful open resources for mathematics education. The work makes it possible for an open textbook author to simultaneously use MathBook XML software to write their book, while using WeBWorK to write interactive example and homework exercises.

Math blog providing a list of open and shareable resources and tools.

"MASTER Tools, developed by The Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. are the result of on-going collaborations with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), George Mason University, and other education organizations. They are designed to be interactive tools and simulation environments that enable and encourage exploration and discovery through observation, conjecture, and modeling activities."

eBWorK is an open-source online homework system for math and sciences courses. WeBWorK is supported by the MAA and the NSF and comes with a National Problem Library (NPL) of over 20,000 homework problems.

Approved list of of over 15 open textbooks covering different levels of calculus, algebra, and statistics.

"The Worldwide Center of Mathematics has a mission of making mathematics more accessible by using technology to keep costs low and quality high. They publish both open (free) and affordable textbooks and resources."

"MyOpenMath runs on the open source, IMathAS platform, providing free hosted use of this platform in support of free, open textbooks like the ones listed on OpenTextBookStore.com. The intent is to provide classroom use of the platform, without any required cost to students, for schools wanting a managed install of the IMathAS platform, and to provide students self-study opportunities."

Titles participating in the Oxford Open scheme are broadly included in one of two open access models, either full or optional open access.

PhET provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations.

"The goals of Interactivate are the creation, collection, evaluation, and dissemination of interactive courseware for exploration in science and mathematics."

Created by West Texas A&M University, the Virtual Math Lab provides tutorials for College Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Beginning Algebra, and Math for the Sciences.
