The goals of the OER initiative are to reduce textbook costs for students while modernizing and enlivening the learning experience with more contemporary, interactive learning materials. |
- | Some good optional texts and online resources are listed below. | + | Math 753/853's OER plan has three main components. We will use |
+ | * open, online resources on numerical methods and an assortment of optional, low-cost books in place of an expensive required textboook. | ||
+ | * the open-source (free) and cutting-edge [[http://www.julia.org|Julia programming language]] in place of proprietary Matlab software. | ||
+ | * an open-source and publically-readable course website instead of the proprietary and pay-walled Canvas course management system | ||
+ | |||
+ | By following OER principles, we will save students money, pave the way for reducing university costs for software licenses, and contribute to improving numerical methods pedagogy worldwide. | ||
