[NABS-L] Textbook recommendations

[Bhavya shah]

Dear Gene,

Check out the books available on https://openstax.org/subjects. Our
institution will be using OpenStax's Calculus volumes as textbooks for
the Math 20 series this year, so I think OpenStax material can
probably be viewed as good quality overall. In terms of accessibility,
the Calculus book I read was reasonably accessible, containing Math ML
rendering as well as detailed alt text for graphs. It has a number of
textbooks in a variety of subject areas which may be of interest to
you. Have fun!

Thanks.
