In 1991, 4.5 percent of all bachelor's degrees in science and engineering were earned by Hispanics. In 2003, that percentage increased to 7.2, a percentage that exceeds the growth in the Latino population itself. As this population continues to grow in the United States, the influence and contributions of Latinos in science, mathematics, and other professions increases as well, despite such barriers as prejudice while pursuing education and career goals. Latinos in Science, Math, and Professions covers 177 Hispanic-American physical and social scientists, mathematicians, and inventors. From the early disease research of Carlos Juan Finlay to the current economic theories of Barbara J. Robles, Latinos have made many significant scientific and mathematical contributions to the world. This illuminating volume includes profiles of Latino economists, chemists, pharmacologists, doctors, biologists, astronauts, sociologists, engineers, and individuals in numerous other fields, whether they were born in the United States or emigrated from such countries as Argentina, Costa Rica, or Mexico. Latino Americans in general, as well as those in the fields of science, math, and other professions. One subject index divides entries by area of expertise such as biotechnology and statistics, and additional indexes organize subjects by their year of birth and by their ethnicity or country of origin. This volume is enhanced throughout with many black-and-white photographs of the individuals profiled.

Free online at: https://doi.org/10.21061/electromagnetics-vol-1 Electromagnetics Volume 1 by Steven W. Ellingson is a 225-page, peer-reviewed open educational resource (licensed CC BY-SA 4.0) intended for electrical engineering students in the third year of a bachelor of science degree program. It is intended as a primary textbook for a one-semester first course in undergraduate engineering electromagnetics and covers the following topics: electric and magnetic fields; electromagnetic properties of materials; electromagnetic waves; and devices that operate according to associated electromagnetic principles including resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, generators, and transmission lines. The book employs the “transmission lines first” approach in which transmission lines are introduced using a lumped-element equivalent circuit model for a differential length of transmission line, leading to one-dimensional wage equations for voltage and current. A free and openly-licensed PDF, problem sets & solutions, editable LaTeX source files, and information for the book’s community portal and listserv are available at: https://doi.org/10.21061/electromagnetics-vol-1. This textbook is part of the Open Electromagnetics Project led by Steven W. Ellingson at Virginia Tech. The goal of the project is to create no-cost openly-licensed content for courses in undergraduate engineering electromagnetics. The project is motivated by two things: lowering learning material costs for students and giving faculty the freedom to adopt, modify, and improve their educational resources.

Roger L. Terry grew up in Danbury, Connecticut; and after a year at Danbury High School, he transferred to Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts and graduated in 1954. He started his training in psychology at Yale University, receiving his bachelor of arts degree in 1962. He earned his master of science degree in psychology in 1964 at Auburn University where he spent a year as a graduate assistant teaching introductory psychology. Moving on to the social psychology program at the University of Missouri at Columbia, he was a part-time research assistant and full-time research associate in the Center for Research in Social Behavior, primarily responsible for the collection of survey data from samples of public school teachers in the United States, England, New Zealand, and Australia. His teaching experience included more courses in introductory psychology and conducting the correspondence course in social psychology. He was awarded his doctor of philosophy degree in social psychology in 1968. Upon receiving his doctorate, he joined the psychology faculty of Hanover College in Indiana where he spent the entirety of his postdoctoral career. During that time, he advanced through the academic ranks from assistant professor to associate professor to professor of psychology, including multiple stints as chair of the department of psychology. His primary teaching responsibilities included social psychology; cognitive psychology; social research methods; learning, motivation, and personality theory; and, of course, introductory psychology. He also taught courses in life span development, human sexuality, social conflict, research controversies, and educational psychology and learning disabilities. Periodically, he taught off-campus classes in social psychology, child psychology, educational psychology, and abnormal psychology for Purdue University and Indiana University. All of these courses dealt with the gamut of behavior generally while social psychology covered such specific

Julie Miller is from Daytona State College, where she has taught developmental and upper-level mathematics courses for 20 years. Prior to her work at Daytona State College, she worked as a software engineer for General Electric in the area of flight and radar simulation. Julie earned a bachelor of science in applied mathematics from Union College in Schenectady, New York, and a master of science in mathematics from the University of Florida. In addition to this textbook, she has authored several course supplements for college algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus, as well as several short works of fiction and nonfiction for young readers. My father is a medical researcher, and I got hooked on math and science when I was young and would visit his laboratory. I can remember using graph paper to plot data points for his experiments and doing simple calculations. He would then tell me what the peaks and features in the graph meant in the context of his experiment. I think that applications and hands-on experience made math come alive for me and I’d like to see math come alive for my students.
