The OER textbooks are available in digital formats for free under a creative commons license. These digital documents can be used and adjusted to support teacher and student needs. They can be loaded onto student electronic devices or printed in their entirety or as individual pages through school or district printing services. Formatted OER textbooks are also available to purchase in bulk at a low cost using a state printing contract.
New for 2022
The OER textbooks were revised in the spring of 2022. Currently, the revised versions are only available in English. Revised textbooks in other languages are yet to be translated.
Important Note: The OER Textbook Project works very hard to ensure that only materials with an open "creative common" license are used. After a copy is made, it is the responsibility of that person to assure that any content, pictures, illustrations, diagrams, etc. added to the adapted books are free of a private copyright license. The person who adapts the textbook is solely responsible for consequences regarding breaking regulations with these copyrights.
The Utah Core Standards support student access to increased non-fiction/informational text to ensure that all students are prepared to meet the reading and cognitive demands of college and careers. These Open Texts provide access to grade-leveled and grade-appropriate readings and learning tasks to support the Core by providing a wide range of informational and literary non-fiction texts. These texts have been assessed by teacher teams for text complexity by using both quantitative lexile level and qualitative criteria.
Utah started Online Educational Resources in mathematics in 2011 when Utah adopted the integrated model for high school mathematics. This model is used throughout the world and provides students with the opportunity in high school to learn and use topics in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and analysis in connected and relevant ways; it promotes a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. The Mathematics Vision Project was instituted to share real-world tasks to support teachers and students. The integrated model also follows the flow of standards in the earlier grades where students make connections between concepts such as number, geometry, and algebraic thinking and reasoning. The Utah Middle School Math Project was created to support teachers and students in the middle grades. Throughout the years, the programs have been maintained on the UEN site as well as on the respective websites.
Discrete Mathematics: An Open Introduction is a free, open source textbook appropriate for a first or second year undergraduate course for math and computer science majors. The book is especially well-suited for courses that incorporate inquiry-based learning. Since Spring 2013, the book has been used as the primary textbook or a supplemental resource at more than 200 colleges and universities around the world (see the partial adoptions list). The text is endorsed by the American Institute of Mathematics' Open Textbook Initiative and is well reviewed on the Open Textbook Library.
This 3rd edition brings many improvements, including nearly 100 new exercises (including many interactive exercises providing instant feedback), a new section on trees in the graph theory chapter, and improved exposition throughout. Previous editions will continue to be available indefinitely. A few times a year, the text is updated with a new "printing" to correct errors. See the errata list for more information.
Online homework sets are available through Runestone Academy (free), Edfinity (inexpensive) or as WeBWorK sets from the author (the WeBWorK exercises are available in the Contrib folder of the OPL as well).
Please contact the author with feedback and suggestions, or if you are decide to use the book in a course you are teaching. You can also easily submit feedback about an error or typo by creating a GitHub issue.
The entire book is available for free as an interactive online ebook. This should work well on all screen sizes, including smart phones, and work will with screen readers for visually impaired students. Hints and solutions to examples and exercises are hidden but easily revealed by clicking on their links. Some exercises also allow you to enter and check your work, so you can try multiple times without spoiling the answer.
For offline use, a free pdf version, suitable for reading on a tablet or computer, is available for download. This should be searchable and easy to navigate using embedded links. Hints and solutions (when available) can be accessed by clicking on the exercise number, and clicking on the number of the hint or solution will bring you back to the exercise.
If you prefer a physical copy, an inexpensive print version of the text is available on Amazon. This should be cheaper than printing the entire book and binding it yourself. Page numbers match the pdf version. There is also a cheap Kindle version available; it works great on Android tablets; unfortunately it seems the math does not render well on Amazon's e-ink readers.
There are a number of videos instructors have made for classes they taught using the book. Check out the playlists below. If you make videos or know of others, please share them.Mathematical Visual Proofs. Beautifully animated videos illustrating ideas from the book.Dr. Trevor Bazett's Course. A complete course that uses the textbook as a basis for the videos.
If you are using the book in a class you are teaching, instructor resources are available by request. Just contact the author. You can also request WeBWorK homework sets if you have access to a WeBWorK server.
The text began as a set of lecture notes for the discrete mathematics course at the University of Northern Colorado. This course serves both as an introduction to topics in discrete math and as the "introduction to proofs" course for math majors. The course is usually taught with a large amount of student inquiry, and this text is written to help facilitate this. Originally designed to support future math teachers, the text has a friendly and informal tone, and puts an emphasis on understanding the included concepts, rather than simply memorizing procedures. The book has also been successfully used in courses catering to computer science students, who also benefit from the deeper understanding it promotes.
Four main topics are covered: counting, sequences, logic, and graph theory. Along the way, proofs are introduced, including proofs by contradiction, proofs by induction, and combinatorial proofs. An introductory chapter covering mathematical statements, sets, and functions helps students gain familiarity with the language of mathematics, and two additional topics (generating functions and number theory) are also included.

Math by the Book is a grade-by-grade resource (K-5). Each book features children's literature and a collection of activities and teaching strategies that uniquely address critical grade-specific skills and content.
Every children's book highlighted in Math by the Book includes a menu of tasks, tips, and strategies, including questions to pose, investigations to explore, problems to solve, questions to spur discussions, and projects to extend students' thinking. You'll find examples of student work and have access to online resources to allow you to easily replicate the tasks with students.
Each grade-level package comes with a featured text, one of the children's books highlighted at each grade. To support the use of children's literature in math, there are additional coaching notes, features, and online resources related to the featured text.
Math by the Book includes access to on-demand video coaching from Sue O'Connell. These coaching sessions can be viewed on your own or with colleagues as part of a professional learning experience. Topics include book selection, choosing a math focus, and developing related lessons and activities.
