| Detail | Dr. Andrew Rechnitzer is one of the three faculty members in Mathematics behind the CLP series of free online texts used by thousands of UBC students every year. These top-quality resources are the primary references in the 4-stage calculus sequence MATH 100, 101, 200, 317. The authors prepared them on their own initiative, out of love for the subject and compassion for students, with no thought of recognition and virtually no resources from UBC. Dr. Rechnitzer is an early adopter and creator of open textbooks at UBC. He has replaced paid textbooks in the courses that he teaches and is one of the authors of the CLP open calculus textbooks. He also advocates and develops innovative open source platforms for marking and assessment that saves fees for students. |
