free textbooks

Tired of supporting an institution that is both exploitative and further exacerbates the problem of rising higher educational costs, I have decided to start giving away textbooks that I no longer wish to use. Sure, I could sell them used (which would still be supporting the college textbook industry) or I could sell them through some other channel, e.g. half.com, but in the end, I think that education has such important social value that it (and the items to support it) should be free (as in beer 🙂 ).

All I ask is that whoever wants them shows me some proof that they’re actually taking the courses. Furthermore, I ask that whoever wants the books promises to keep the books for personal use or pass them on to another student who needs them.

Anyway, here are the books for now:

For Material Science and Engineering 205:

Material Science and Engineering An Introduction

ISBN 0-471-32013-7

For Math 568:

Linear Algebra and It’s Applications

Second Edition

If anyone’s interested, please e-mail me off this list and we can make an arrange to get the books to you. Also, feel free to cross-post and forward this message as desired.
