[Fhsst-authors] [Fwd: Free High School Science Texts]

[Mark Horner]

Hi Everyone

Today I was approached by a member of the Free Curriculum Project. I 
have included the email below. I am proposing that we incorporate what 
algebra they have already written.

They have also been working on a Computer Science text. We'll discuss 
how a mutually beneficial arrangement can be agreed upon and perhaps we 
could incorporate it or contribute to it later.

I think that, no matter what happens here, we should finish the 3 books 
we have started first.

Cheers,

Mark

Mark,

I came across your "Free High School Science Texts" page clicking around
on Savannah.  I also have an education related project there, the Free
Curriculum Project.  Sadly, my project has generated almost no
interest.  I have had difficulty with self-motivation; I did not expect
to work on this project in a vacuum.

I have written the rudiments of a High School Algebra text.  I intend to
add it to my project (and make it available under the terms of the GNU
FDL) once it starts to really take shape.

I am writing because your site indicates that you are looking for fairly
self-contained sections, and that interested parties should write to
learn what sections are needful.

What sort of formatting are you looking for?  I am using LyX, and can
provided (La)TeX source easily.

Of course, you will be faced with the difficulty of translating any
contribution I make from 'Merican, my only language, to English, but
this should not be too difficult for a Math (Maths?) text ;-)

I look forward to your reply, and I am hopeful for a mutually
advantageous arrangement.

-Peter
