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 \ud83d\ude42 ). <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Anyway, here are the books for now:<\/p>\n
For Material Science and Engineering 205:<\/p>\n
Material Science and Engineering An Introduction <\/p>\n
William D. Callister, Jr.<\/p>\n
Fifth Edition<\/p>\n
ISBN 0-471-32013-7\n<\/p>\n
For Math 568:<\/p>\n
Linear Algebra and It’s Applications<\/br>
\nDavid C. Lay<\/br>
\nSecond Edition<\/p>\n
ISBN 0-201-34774-1<\/br><\/p>\n
