I'm excited to share the news that Grand Valley State University
mathematics professor Ted Sundstrom is to receive the inaugural Daniel
Solow Author's Award from the Mathematical Association of America, in
recognition of /Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof/
<http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/books/9/>, an open educational resource
published through ourScholarWorks@GVSU
<http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/>repository platform. The Daniel Solow
Author's Award celebrates authors whose materials have had a positive
impact on undergraduate mathematics education.
/Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof/is one of our favorite OER
and library publishing success stories: after Dr. Sundstrom reclaimed
his copyright from the original commercial publisher, the GVSU Libraries
helped him make the textbook openly available online to a growing global
audience. Dr. Sundstrom's textbook has been formally adopted at 47
universities, while the digital editions in ScholarWorks were downloaded
more than 22,000 times in 2016 alone!
On behalf of the GVSU Libraries' scholarly communications team,
congratulations to Dr. Sundstrom!
