Textbooks

A complete foundation for Statistics, also serving as a foundation for Data Science. Leanpub revenue supports OpenIntro (US-based nonprofit) so we can provide free desk copies to teachers interested in using OpenIntro Statistics in the classroom and expand the project to support free textbooks in other subjects.

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.

IT'S A HIGHWAY TO A BETTER COFFEE AND ROASTING! It's filled with practical advice of 12 years roasting experience that's made simple to accelerate your learning in coffee roasting.

Have you ever been curious about how your phone unlocks when it sees your face, how a camera can track people and objects in a video, how humans see depth, or how computers can differentiate dogs from cats? This book will start from the basics of image manipulation and build up to cover all of these topics, and more!

This book describes the process of analyzing data. The authors have extensive experience both managing data analysts and conducting their own data analyses, and this book is a distillation of their experience in a format that is applicable to both practitioners and managers in data science. Printed copies are available through Lulu.

This third volume of the series on experiential learning concerns itself principally with creating those experiences that simulate some life situation. This volume focuses on those simulation exercises, providing lots of examples and variations, using all the senses and all parts of the brain.

This book teaches you to use R to effectively visualize and explore complex datasets. Exploratory data analysis is a key part of the data science process because it allows you to sharpen your question and refine your modeling strategies. This book is based on the industry-leading Johns Hopkins Data Science Specialization.

This book brings the fundamentals of R programming to you, using the same material developed as part of the industry-leading Johns Hopkins Data Science Specialization. The skills taught in this book will lay the foundation for you to begin your journey learning data science. Printed copies of this book are available through Lulu.

Documentation isn’t just a chore—it’s a craft. And with AI tools at your side, it’s finally scalable, smart, and developer-friendly. Document Like a Developer: Technical Writing with AI Tools is your blueprint for building docs that ship with your code, evolve with your product, and speak your users’ language. Learn how to enforce style guides, automate glossary checks, run documentation sprints, and measure impact with precision. Whether you're a solo dev, a startup team, or scaling across an enterprise, this book gives you the workflows, templates, and mindset to treat documentation like a first-class citizen. Stop writing throwaway manuals. Start building living systems of clarity. The future of technical writing is here—and it’s automated, collaborative, and built for velocity.

Every spreadsheet tells many stories - this book tells you how to ask the right questions.

Learn how to grab information from dozens or even hundreds of webpages, documents or spreadsheets using a range of tools and techniques, from simple web-based tools to full on programming.

This book aims to be the comprehensive manual for type-level programming. It's about getting you from here to there---from a competent Haskell programmer to one who convinces the compiler to do their work for them.
