At OpenStax, our mission has always been to provide high-quality, peer-reviewed, openly licensed educational resources that increase student access and affordability. Since 2012, we have saved students over $2.9 billion in textbook costs while supporting instructors with reliable, best-in-class teaching materials. We remain committed to this mission, and that’s why OpenStax textbooks and their associated ancillary resources will always be available for free online.
