Who We Are 

What do you need for class today?  We know what happens in the classroom matters. A dedicated instructor and the right textbook have the power to change the world—one student at a time. W. H. Freeman was founded in 1946 when Bill Freeman collaborated with future Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling to publish General Chemistry, a textbook that revolutionized the chemistry curriculum, forever changed how science textbooks looked, and established the prototype for the Freeman text. Freeman quickly became the publishing house of choice for leading science researchers wanting to make significant contributions to education.

When you need the best content for your classroom. Today we collaborate closely with top researchers and leaders in teaching to develop the best teaching and learning packages in the life sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, and statistics. We publish a highly selective list, allowing us to devote unparalleled time and attention to each title as well as to the course for which each is developed.

When you need innovation. We build our lists title by title, working with our authors, you, and your counterparts to thoroughly understand changes in curricula, demographics, pedagogy, and technology. This knowledge is carefully applied to meet the current and emerging needs in a given discipline and course. We work hard to get the content right, but also focus on how your students can integrate that content most successfully into their lives.

When you need choice — in content, delivery, and price. We don’t force people to buy the latest edition or push a particular package. We strive to keep our prices low and we offer value or custom options for nearly every title we publish. Our custom program, one of the best in the industry, helps you mix your content with ours to create a successful learning system built for your course.

When you need the right technology. We create eLearning tools to solve your problems— particularly the demands on your time and the need to control the cost for your students. Whatever your course needs, we have technology options for you: homework and assessment systems, online course spaces, eBooks, animations, images, video, audio, and labs. We’ve got content for the classroom; you choose how you want it delivered.

When you need help. We know it’s not enough to build books and media that work in the classroom—we have to make sure that they work for you, whenever you need them and wherever you fall on the digital curve. We call it the “W. H. Freeman Service Contract”—full support for everyone who uses our classroom tools.

Not sure how to find what you need? Our representatives have relationships, not accounts—and matching students and teachers with the right learning tools is a labor of love. The W. H. Freeman experience means consultation about what works best for you and your course.
