This text, originally by K. Kuttler, has been redesigned by the Lyryx editorial team as a first course in linear algebra for science and engineering students who have an understanding of basic algebra.
All major topics of linear algebra are available in detail, as well as proofs of important theorems. In addition, connections to topics covered in advanced courses are introduced. The text is designed in a modular fashion to maximize flexibility and facilitate adaptation to a given course outline and student profile.
Each chapter begins with a list of student learning outcomes, and examples and diagrams are given throughout the text to reinforce ideas and provide guidance on how to approach various problems. Suggested exercises are included at the end of each section, with selected answers at the end of the text.
Lyryx develops and supports open texts, with editorial services to adapt the text for each particular course. In addition, Lyryx provides content-specific formative online assessment, a wide variety of supplements, and in-house support available 7 days/week for both students and instructors.

This is a set of supplemental materials and worksheets to go with First Year Japanese II Textbook. Source file can be requested by e-mailing Yoko.Sato@mhcc.edu.

This set goes with First Year Japanese I - JPN101 text by Yoko Sato. It includes Kana charts, Kana practice sheets, some lecture notes, drills and activities.

These assignments are intended to accompany or replace the original drills from AlKitaab part I, 3rd ed. textbook. This helps to transition students of Arabic away from the need to purchase or share an expensive textbook and companion website access and also gives the students materials and drills that develop their language skills more methodically, using principles from recent foreign language pedagogy.

Fitness Plan for Middle School students. This plan helps them identify 3 main components of a fitness plan (Cardiovasular Endurance, Strength, and Flexibility). 

To complete this assignment students need to choose a group and decide who will write each section. They should also agree on a timeframe which will allow them to complete the assignment in the time provided. One student is expected to take the lead in assembling the final document. Students are expected to edit themselves the stay within the page limit, as they will find a vast amount of information. Students may work alone or in groups of less than five, but are still required to include all the necessary information.

(Note: this resource was added to OER Commons as part of a batch upload of over 2,200 records. If you notice an issue with the quality of the metadata, please let us know by using the 'report' button and we will flag it for consideration.)

This exercise will not only teach students the art of flash fiction, but it will allow them to write, to work with their peers, and to publish!  The teacher will have as much fun as the students!
