- Data Analysis for the Life SciencesRafael A Irizarry and Michael I Love
Data analysis is now part of practically every research project in the life sciences. In this book we use data and computer code to teach the necessary statistical concepts and programming skills to become a data analyst. Instead of showing theory first and then applying it to toy examples, we start with actual applications and describe the theory as it becomes necessary to solve specific challenges. The book includes links to computer code that readers can use to follow along as they program.

- Making sense of chemical stressApplication of Dynamic Energy Budget theory in ecotoxicology and stress ecologyTjalling Jager
Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory is a powerful framework for ecotoxicology and stress ecology. This book provides a gentle introduction into the concepts behind DEB theory, and how to apply them in practice to understand stressor effects. The book is completely "math free".
Leanpub revenue supports OpenIntro. OpenIntro is a US-based nonprofit that provides textbook services to help increase adoption of OER textbooks and save students money. These textbook services are fully financed by Leanpub contributions on supported books. APEX Calculus website: apexcalculus.comOpenIntro website: openintro.org
- Introductory Statistics with Randomization and SimulationDavid Diez, Christopher Barr, Mine Cetinkaya-Rundel, and OpenIntro
A complete foundation for Statistics, also serving as a foundation for Data Science, that introduces inference using randomization and simulation while covering traditional methods. Leanpub revenue supports OpenIntro, so we can provide free desk copies to teachers interested in using our books in the classroom. More resources: openintro.org.
- Finding Hidden Messages in DNAActive Learning Publishers, Phillip Compeau, and Pavel Pevzner
The official companion of Finding Hidden Messages in DNA, the popular first course in Coursera's Bioinformatics sequence. Learn how biologists have begun to decipher the strange and wonderful language of DNA without needing to put on a lab coat. This book contains the first two chapters from Volume 1 of Bioinformatics Algorithms: An Active Learning Approach.
- Principles of fMRITor D. Wager and Martin A. Lindquist
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain as people perform tasks and experience mental states. This book covers the design, acquisition, and analysis of fMRI data.
Toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) modelling is an exciting field of ecotoxicology that aims to understand and predict toxic effects, rather than just describing them. A lot of work has been done in this field, especially over the last two decades. However, many open (and in some cases fundamental) questions still remain to be solved.
- Quantum Computing for Software EngineersRakhim Davletkaliyev
Quantum computing is real, but is frankly surrounded by a thick fog of hype. Do you want to see it clearly, understand its realities, and even consider joining it as a professional software engineer?
- How to be a modern scientistJeffrey Leek
A book about how to be a scientist the modern, open-source way.
- Atom Education: Physics 101Rahul Awasthi
Build a strong foundation in physics without getting lost in jargon or formulas. Atom Education: Physics 101 combines intuitive explanations, practical examples, and structured problem-solving to make essential physics concepts easier to understand.
- Force-Information-TimeA structural framework for understanding how complex systems evolve through force, information, time, and constraintQien Huang
From quantum and molecules to cells, individuals, organizations, nations, and civilizations—why do clearly defined hierarchical structures emerge? Why does evolution often manifest as a repeating rhythm of "oscillation—stability—aggregation—re-stability"? Why do many systems fail not because of insufficient power or lack of information, but because the "pace of doing things" is wrong?
