  Argumentation: The Study of Effective Reasoning, 2nd EditionBy Professor
David Zarefsky | | Reasoning, tested by doubt, is argumentation. We do it, hear it, and judge it every day. We do it in our own minds, and we do it with others. What is effective reasoning? And how can it be done persuasively? This is equally a course in argument and in reasoning. This course teaches how to reason. It teaches how to persuade others that what you think is right. And it teaches how to judge and answer the arguments of others—and how they will judge yours.

 Great Ideas of Philosophy, 2nd EditionBy Professor
Daniel N. Robinson | | Humanity left childhood and entered the troubled but productive world when it started to criticize its own certainties and weigh the worthiness of its most secure beliefs. Thus began that "Long Debate" on the nature of truth, the scale of real values, the life one should aspire to live, the character of justice, the sources of law, the terms of civic and political life—the good, the better, the best. This course of 60 lectures gives the student a sure guide and interpreter as major themes of philosophy are presented and considered.

 Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear, 2nd Edition
By Professor
Michael Starbird
|
|
Most of the differences in the way we experience life emerged because of technical advances that rely on calculus. Calculus is a beautiful idea exposing the rational workings of the world; it is part of our intellectual heritage. It justly deserves a place in the pantheon of our accomplishments with Shakespeare's plays, Beethoven's symphonies, and Einstein's theories of relativity. Many of us exclude ourselves from the profound insights of calculus because we didn't continue in mathematics. This great achievement remains a closed door. But Professor Michael Starbird can open that door and make calculus accessible to all.
