#ProjectGutenberg
Two books in French on complex analysis (residues, and elliptic functions) produced at #DistributedProofreaders for #ProjectGutenberg, with thoughts about what we choose to value and preserve, and the urgent weight our choices bear:

Theory of Finite Groups by William Burnside, a 2012 digitization of the 1897 treatise produced at #DistributedProofreaders for #ProjectGutenberg in collaboration with Brenda Lewis and many other volunteers. Read more:

Two books by Augustus De Morgan digitized for Project Gutenberg, one about algebra and geometry, the other about calculus. Their style is formal by today's standards, but each may be useful for self-study by students and teachers. Read more:

In the aughts of the 20th century, differential geometry was recognizably the subject students learn today. The Project Gutenberg ebook Leçons de Géométrie Supérieure by Ernest Vessiot, and a few words about the book's Content Provider:

Two centuries ago (1825 and 1827), Gauss published two papers on intrinsic curvature of surfaces. In 2011, using page scans and OCR text generously provided by Brenda Lewis at Distributed Proofreaders, I digitized the English translation by Hiltebeitel and Morehead for Project Gutenberg.
This Very Short blog post introduces the geometric context (extrinsic and intrinsic curvature of surfaces) for non-mathematicians: https://www.diffgeom.com/blogs/free-online-math-materials/general-investigations-of-curved-surfaces/
The 1914 British second edition of Calculus Made Easy is by far the most popular ebook I helped produce for Project Gutenberg: https://www.diffgeom.com/blogs/free-online-math-materials/calculus-made-easy/
Part of my 2010 post for the Distributed Proofreaders blog about the book (full text: https://blog.pgdp.net/2010/10/13/calculus-made-easy/)
---(snip)---
The mathematical study of rates of change and total change, also known as “the differential and integral calculus”, has frightened generations of students. Ironically, this scholastic trauma is often unnecessary: Many formal rules of calculus are nearly trivial to carry out. The mathematical difficulties lie in understanding and using the rigorous logical framework of the calculus—what mathematicians nowadays term “elementary real analysis”—and in establishing the correctness of the formal manipulations and their connections with mathematical interpretations.
Sylvanus Phillips Thompson’s “Calculus Made Easy” gives cogent yet entertaining and irreverent explanations of these easy calculational rules. Justifications are conceptual, but beneficially simplified and intuitive. Popularized and later updated by the recreational mathematics author Martin Gardner, “Calculus Made Easy” has remained a widely-read introductory text for the past century.
[...]
If you’ve had unpleasant experiences with calculus, if your knowledge has grown rusty, or if you’ve simply never encountered this powerful and intriguing branch of mathematics, Thompson’s gem of a textbook should prove a pleasant, thought-provoking, and ultimately rewarding read.

Over the years I've helped create a variety of free online resources for teaching and learning math, including textbook manuscripts, public domain ebooks, and interactive software. I've posted haphazardly at mathstodon about a few of these items, but am starting a line of Very Short blog posts at my online shop Differential Geometry to showcase examples more systematically.

on Star Trek, they didn't often think through the consequences of the treknology, but the Federation's post-capitalist society is a natural consequence of transporters and replicators. it's an idea that was explored by several sf authors of the era, like George O. Smith in "Pandora's Millions." #StarTrek #ScienceFiction #PostCapitalism #ShortStory #ProjectGutenberg #Ebook

I shared the userstyle I was creating for Project Gutenberg's online ebook reader.
As of now, the userstyle:
- comes with light and dark modes;
- let's you change the default font size;
- allows you to switch between the browser's serif font and one from google fonts.
Feel free to report any issues on any of these forges:
