Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding, 5th Canadian Edition

Introductory Psychology
An Introduction to Psychological Science, 4th Canadian Edition (Available in March 2023)
Krause, Corts, Smith
An Introduction to Psychological Science presents students with a model for scientific literacy; this model forms the core of how this text is written and organized. We believe a scientific literacy perspective and model will prove useful in addressing two course needs we often hear from instructors—to provide students with a systematic way to categorize the overwhelming amount of information they are confronted with, and to cultivate their curiosity and help them understand the relevance, practicality, and immense appeal of psychological science.

Linear Algebra
Introduction to Linear Algebra for Science and Engineering, 3rd edition
Norman, Wolczuk
For courses in Linear Algebra.
Norman/Wolczuk’s An Introduction to Linear Algebra for Science and Engineering has been widely respected for its unique approach, which helps students understand and apply theory and concepts by combining theory with computations and slowly bringing students to the difficult abstract concepts. This approach includes an early treatment of vector spaces and complex topics in a simpler, geometric context. An Introduction to Linear Algebra for Science and Engineering promotes advanced thinking and understanding by encouraging students to make connections between previously learned and new concepts and demonstrates the importance of each topic through applications.
Trade Mathematics
Mathematics for the Trades: A Guided Approach
Carman, Saunders, Mills
For Basic Math, Math for the Trades, Occupational Math, and similar basic math skills courses offered by trade or technical departments at the undergraduate/graduate level.
Mathematics for the Trades: A Guided Approach provides the practical mathematics skills needed in a wide variety of trade and technical areas, including electronics, auto mechanics, construction trades, air conditioning, machine technology, metal fabrication, welding, drafting, and many other occupations. It is especially intended for students who have a poor math background and for adults who have been out of school for a time. Many of these students have had little success in mathematics, some openly fear it, and all need a direct, practical approach that emphasizes careful, complete explanations and actual on-the-job applications. This book provides practical help with real math, beginning at each student’s level of ability.
