Liberté: a First Year French Textbook. French, foreign languages, romance languages. Liberté is a free French language textbook for first-year college students. A separate instructor guide is also provided. The textbook features include: 1) Each chapter is built around communicative strategies. Clearly defined objectives in communication, culture, and grammar are given at the start of each chapter, and summary exercises at the end allow students to measure their mastery of these objectives. 2) The exercises in the in-class (A) sections are composed mainly of guided practice and extension activities, along with occasional comprehension checks and comprehensible input. Some further activities are indicated in th e instructor 9s marginal notes.. 3) The grammar included is explained in a more narrative form and in more detail than is typical for first-year textbooks. The grammar (B) sections should be read by the students outside of class before the communicative activities requiring those grammar points are done in class. 4) The amount of grammar is less than is typically contained in a first-year text. The grammar included has been chosen to meet the needs of the communicative goals of each chapter, and these have been selected based on what a student ranking intermediate-low to -mid on the ACTFL oral proficiency scale should be able to accomplish. The grammatical concepts included in this book focus on those that will be needed for the sentences and questions that a typical low-intermediate speaker can form, and those are emphasized repeatedly. 5) The book implicitly and explicitly recycles material from previous chapters on a regular basis, so that students can see their learning as a continual progression rather than as a rush from one grammar point to the next. http://florida.theorangegrove.org/og/items/4a4a6ebe-cce2-9920-fff9- 910425c58b6f/1/french_student.pdf History American History (United States) 36.

You can use the text as a main text, as a supplement to another text, or for independent study. Prerequisites: A semester of calculus; students with three semesters of calculus can skip a few sections. Each chapter has three or four discussions of additional topics and applications suitable for independent study or for small group work. The approach is developmental. Although the presentation is focused on covering the requisite material by proving things, it does not start with an assumption that students are already able at abstract work. Instead, it proceeds with a great deal of motivation, many computational examples, and exercises that range from routine verifications to (a few) challenges. The goal is, in the context of developing the usual material of an undergraduate linear algebra course, to help raise the level of mathematical maturity of the class. Note: both the textbook and answers to exercises are included. Author suggests you save the two files in the same directory, so that clicking on an exercise will send you to its answer and clicking on an answer will send you to its exercise. Go to: http://joshua.smcvt.edu/linalg.html/ to get the source. You need to know LaTeX and MetaPost to work with it; there is a readme file to get started and some optional material. For instructors considering adoption: the author suggests looking at the second chapter. The first chapter is necessarily computational but the second chapter shows more clearly what the book works on: bridging between lower-division mathematics with its reliance on explicitly-given algorithms, and upper division college mathematics with its emphasis on concepts and proof. http://florida.theorangegrove.org/og/items/b7338794-63a4-e13d-1b79- 1297f6fea895/1/LinearAlgebraText.pdf 52.

Grinstead and Snell's Introduction to Probability. Mathematics, probability. This is an introductory probability textbook, published by the American Mathematical Society. It is designed for an introductory probability course taken by mathematics, the physical and social sciences, engineering, and computer science students. The text can be used in a variety of course lengths, levels, and areas of emphasis. For use in a standard one-term course, in which both discrete and continuous probability is covered, students should have taken as a prerequisite two terms of calculus, including an introduction to multiple integrals. In order to cover Chapter 11, which contains material on Markov chains, some knowledge of matrix theory is necessary. The text can also be used in a discrete probability course. For use in a discrete probability course, students should have taken one term of calculus as a prerequisite. All of the computer programs that are used in the text have been written in each of the languages TrueBASIC, Maple, and Mathematica. Contents: 1) Discrete Probability Distributions. 2) Continuous Probability Densities. 3) Combinatorics. 4) Conditional Probability. 5) Distributions and Densities. 6) Expected Value and Variance. 7) Sums of Random Variables. 8) Law of Large Numbers. 9) Central Limit Theorem. 10) Generating Functions. 11) Markov Chains. 12) Random Walks.

Introduction to Statistical Thought. Bayesian Statistics, mathematics, probability, regression (statistics), statistical distributions, statistics. This textbook is intended as an upper level undergraduate or introductory graduate textbook in statistical thinking. It is best suited to students with a good knowledge of calculus and the ability to think abstractly. The focus of the text is the ideas that statisticians care about as opposed to technical details of how to put those ideas into practice. Another unusual aspect is the use of statistical software as a pedagogical tool. That is, instead of viewing the computer merely as a convenient and accurate calculating device, the book uses computer calculation and simulation as another way of explaining and helping readers understand the underlying concepts. The book is written with the statistical language R embedded throughout. R software and accompanying manuals are available for free download from http://www.r-project.org . http://florida.theorangegrove.org/og/items/d1462a9c-bc1e-4a1e-67de- 90c5a8ed39f5/1/StatisticalThought.pdf Natural Resources and Conservation Environmental Science 59.
