Online Textbook Resources

Unfortunately, due to the age of the textbook, the publisher has removed all online content associated with our textbook. While we will use the book as an important source, the links given therein are no loner functioning. As a result, I will look online for other sources related to the topics in our text. Likewise, I encourage you to let me know of any useful websites that you come across in your studies so that I may add them to the site and share with everyone.
