We have been using it for half a semester, and I have only good things to say. The content was developed with undergrad feedback, and there are learning materials for students. The instructor material includes slides for each chapter and a test bank.

Highly recommend (and OpenStax has other books)!

Wandering the stacks at a used bookstore is my favorite approach

You never know what treasures you'll find in the library (took this pic of a mind-bending series at the Duquesne U library).

And here she is not too long before passing in 2021 - with some of the wisdom she developed in over 60 years as a writer and futurist in the AI world.

I'm working on a documentary of her and the 1979 book with some professors at CMU. It's a story that needs to be told.

And no, that's not her in the pic, that's an AI version of Ada Lovelace we used for a Cybernetics talk at Fungus Books in Pittsburgh last year and was too good not to use again.

Here's Pamela McCorduck in her 70s glory.
