“I am sure that you are aware that I am trying to put the big textbook publishers out of business. I had a student tell me today that she spent $200 on a used copy of a physics textbook. Publishers are quite open that they have a three year cycle: they put out a new edition every three years; I have looked at the changes which they have made and they are cosmetic, but make it difficult for a student to use the old edition. They are also not interested in errata—new editions come out with the same errors.<\/em><\/p>\n

Compare this with Lyryx: free texts if you are willing to read them on your computer, very reasonably priced print versions if you prefer that, reasonably priced online formative assessment (I think that Pearson charges about $120 for Mastering Engineering), and problems are immediately dealt with.<\/em><\/p>\n

So much for my rant against the big publishers. Keep up the great work!”<\/em><\/p>\n
