Introduction to Neuroengineering
Mercedes Terry, Abigail Tubbs, Blair Dupre, Brandon Fugger, and Enrique Alvarez Vasquez
"Introduction to Neuroengineering" serves as a comprehensive guide to the fast evolving field at the intersection of neuroscience, engineering, and technology. This book covers foundational concepts like neuron structure, action potentials, and neural modeling, moving through advanced topics like brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), neurostimulation, and imaging technologies (EEG, MEG, fMRI). Each chapter combines theory with practical exercises and lab examples, accessible through a GitHub repository to enhance hands-on learning. Aimed at students, educators, and professionals, this resource offers a foundation and inspiration for innovation in neuroengineering, promoting ongoing exploration in this impactful field.

A Brief Introduction to General Topology
Richard P. Millspaugh
The material in this text is intended to be accessible to undergraduates who have had an introduction to elementary set theory and proof techniques. It includes sufficient material from general topology to prove the two main topological results found in a standard first semester calculus course: the Intermediate Value Theorem and the Extreme Value Theorem. This material can be found in Chapters 2 through 6 and makes up the bulk of the text. Rather than approaching these topics through use of the standard euclidean metric, it defines the standard topology on R in terms of the usual order on R. A brief introduction to metric topologies is included in the Appendix.

APA Definition of Mindfulness
Eric B. Miller
Dr. Miller paraphrases the APA Dictionary of Psychology's definition of mindfulness:
n. awareness of one’s internal states and surroundings. The concept has been applied to various therapeutic interventions—for example, mindfulness-based cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and mindfulness meditation—to help people avoid destructive or automatic habits and responses by learning to observe their thoughts, emotions, and other present-moment experiences without judging or reacting to them.

APEX Calculus: UND Edition (June 2023)
Gregory Hartman and Department of Mathematics, University of North Dakota
This text comprises a three–volume series on Calculus. The first part covers material taught in many “Calculus 1” courses: limits, derivatives, and the basics of integration, found in Chapters 1 through 6. The second text covers material often taught in “Calculus 2”: integration and its applications, along with an introduction to sequences, series and Taylor Polynomials, found in Chapters 7 through 10. The third text covers topics common in “Calculus 3” or “Multivariable Calculus”: parametric equations, polar coordinates, vector–valued functions, and functions of more than one variable, found in Chapters 11 through 15. All three are available separately for free.
This record contains printable PDF versions of the book as well as an EPUB for use in e-reader devices or apps. To view the most up-to-date web version of the text as well the 3D models included within it, please see the Department of Mathematics Calculus Texts page.

In the US copyright covers a bundle of intellectual property rights. In this workshop we will discuss what copyright is, what it allows you to do, and how to maintain your rights as an author.
By the end of this workshop you will be able to answer:
- What is a copyright transfer agreement?
- How can you find out a journal's rights policies?
- How can you negotiate contracts to make the most of your rights as a scholar, researcher, and author?
- What are the benefits of protecting your rights?
This workshop can be modified to match the particulars of the campus where it is being presented.

The Cost of Research
Zeineb Yousif and Brittany Fischer
This OER contains the materials to adapt 'The Cost of Research' display created as part of Chester Fritz Library's programming for the 2021 Open Access Week. It demonstrates how much it would cost a reader without access to institutional resources to obtain the research underlying a single short academic article. It also looks at how much it would cost to flip those same resources to open access based off their publishers' current APC charges. This display could best be used as part of educational programming focusing on the economics of scholarly publishing.
