Open Educational Resources (OER) play a transformative role in the general education curriculum at Wiley University by providing high-quality, accessible, and cost-effective educational materials. These resources include textbooks, course modules, videos, and interactive tools that are freely available for use and modification. By integrating OER into the curriculum, we hope to enhance the learning experiences, foster academic equity, and support diverse teaching strategies. OER not only reduce the financial burden on students but also encourage faculty to innovate and adapt resources to meet specific course needs. Embracing OER aligns with Wiley's commitment to inclusivity and sustainability in education, ensuring that all students have equal access to essential learning materials.

Designed to meet scope and sequence requirements for a one-semester prealgebra course. The book’s organization makes it easy to adapt to a variety of course syllabi. The text introduces the fundamental concepts of algebra while addressing the needs of students with diverse backgrounds and learning styles.
Provides a comprehensive exploration of algebraic principles and meets scope and sequence requirements for a typical introductory algebra course. The modular approach and richness of content ensure that the book meets the needs of a variety of courses.
Adaptable and designed to fit the needs of a variety of precalculus courses. It is a comprehensive text that covers more ground than a typical one- or two-semester college-level precalculus course.
Designed for the typical two- or three-semester general calculus course, incorporating innovative features to enhance student learning. Volume 1 covers functions, limits, derivatives, and integration.
Volume 2 covers integration, differential equations, sequences and series, and parametric equations and polar coordinates.
Volume 3 covers parametric equations and polar coordinates, vectors, functions of several variables, multiple integration, and second-order differential equations.
Actively engages students in learning the subject through an activity-driven approach in which the vast majority of the examples are completed by students. Where many texts present a general theory of calculus followed by substantial collections of worked examples, we instead pose problems or situations, consider possibilities, and then ask students to investigate and explore.
An introductory textbook aimed at college-level sophomores and juniors. Typically students will have taken calculus, but it is not a prerequisite. The book begins with systems of linear equations, then covers matrix algebra, before taking up finite-dimensional vector spaces in full generality.
Follows scope and sequence requirements of a one-semester introduction to statistics course and is geared toward students majoring in fields other than math or engineering. The text assumes some knowledge of intermediate algebra and focuses on statistics application over theory.
