Nonprofit OpenStax, which makes free online learning materials, has partnered with tutoring firm Scalar Learning. Enhanced algebra and trigonometry books featuring YouTuber Huzefa Kapadia will be out soon. At his full-time job, Huzefa Kapadia spends about 60 hours a week helping Southern California high school students understand polynomials, radicals and quadratic functions. But globally, he’s more known for producing videos that simplify difficult math concepts, amassing more than 7.5 million views and 68,000 subscribers on his Scalar Learning YouTube channel. Those online videos will be incorporated into an existing OpenStax digital textbook collection, which spans from basic algebra to calculus. The first batch, algebra and trigonometry textbooks, are slated for updates by the end of this summer, according to a May 4 news release.
