The world of second-year algebra comes alive in Kenny Felder's Advanced Algebra II. Felder, a high school math teacher in North Carolina, designed his course using a nontraditional approach to a very traditional subject. Centered around a Homework and Activities book, along with accompanying Conceptual Explanations and Teacher's Guide collections, Advanced Algebra II tackles topics by focusing on comprehension rather than straight lecture delivery.
Advanced Algebra II was selected by California's Free Digital Textbook Initiative to be included in a list of free textbooks available to California schools starting in Fall 2009.

Collaborative Statistics was written by two faculty members at De Anza College in Cupertino, California. This book is intended for introductory statistics courses being taken by students at two- and four-year colleges who are majoring in fields other than math or engineering. The textbook was developed over several years and has been used in regular and honors-level classroom settings and in distance learning classes.
The book focuses on applications of statistical knowledge rather than the theory behind it. The focus is on thinking statistically, incorporating technology, working collaboratively, and writing thoughtfully.

The purpose of Chuck Severence's book, High Performance Computing has always been to teach new programmers and scientists about the basics of High Performance Computing. This book is for learners with a basic understanding of modern computer architecture, not advanced degrees in computer engineering, as it is an easily understood introduction and overview of the topic.
Originally published by O'Reilly Media in 1998, the book has since gone out of print and has now been released under the Creative Commons Attribution License on Connexions.
