Elementary Algebra covers traditional topics studied in a modern elementary algebra course. Written by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, it is intended for both first-time students and those wishing to brush up on their algebra mathematics. This versatile text features homework assignments, an arithmetic review, and proficiency exams at the end of each chapter.

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 Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a landmark algorithm used in fields ranging from signal processing to high-performance computing. First popularized by two American scientists in 1965, the Fast Fourier Transform has since been optimized and adapted for a number of different applications. In this collection, Dr. Sidney Burrus of Rice University provides a comprehensive look at the FFT, its range of applications and several variant algorithms. Fast Fourier Transforms also includes FFT flowgraphs, computer programs, and a wealth of other material related to the FFT.

"Understanding Basic Music Theory" is an introduction to music theory by one of Connexions' most popular authors. In addition to the basic concepts of music theory, this course and book offer a review of common notation and an introduction to the physics behind music theory, as well as a few slightly advanced but very useful topics, such as transposition.

The artistic works of Jewish mysticism scholar Elliot Wolfson are examined in Flowering Light. Written by Professor Marcia Brennan, this full-length book captures Wolfson's poetry and painting in a way that redefines scholarly critique. This collection includes vibrant reproductions of Wolfson's creative expressions. Flowering Light is one of many titles available in Connexions through Rice University Press.

A First Course in Electrical and Computer Engineering provides readers with a comprehensive, introductory look at the world of electrical engineering. It was originally written by Louis Scharf and Richard Behrens at the University of Colorado. This collection includes MATLAB exercises and diagrams that step readers through a broad range of topics, including phasors, circuit analysis, binary coding, and more.

Programming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach Using C++ is a new course written by Kenneth Leroy Busbee, a faculty member at Houston Community College. This text introduces students to the world of computer programming using a variety of interactive labs, practice problem sets, and demonstrations. A wide variety of topics are covered in Programming Fundamentals, from the program design to high-performance computing. The collection includes an open source C++ compiler and other tools used throughout the collection.

A brief history of Galileo's telescope, its predecessors, and the "telescope race" it inspired. In a 150 or so years, telescope makers like Galileo started with a collection of eyeglass components, solved several major technical hurdles (and discovered major physical principles in doing so), and ended up with the telescope design we still use today.

The course focuses on the creation, manipulation, transmission, and reception of information by electronic means. It covers elementary signal theory, time- and frequency-domain analysis, the sampling theorem, digital information theory, digital transmission of analog signals, and error-correcting codes. It is available both online and as a printed book.

Señales y Sistemas is a Spanish translation of Dr. Rich Baraniuk's collection Signals and Systems (col10064). The translation was coordinated by an an assistant electrical engineering professor and two graduate students at the University of Texas, El Paso. Este curso trata acerca de señales, sistemas, y transformadas a partir de las bases matématicas y teoréticas hasta las implementaciones prácticas en circuitos y algoritmos. (This course deals with signals, systems, and transforms, from their theoretical mathematical foundations to practical implementation in circuits and computer algorithms.)

This is the "main" book in Kenny Felder's "Advanced Algebra II" series. This text was created with a focus on 'doing' and 'understanding' algebra concepts rather than simply hearing about them in lecture format, and the activities in this collection represent the core components of this effort. Advanced Algebra II was recently included and successfully reviewed as part of California's Free Digital Textbook Initiative and is available for use by California high schools.

This is the "concepts" book in Kenny Felder's "Advanced Algebra II" series. This text was created with a focus on 'doing' and 'understanding' algebra concepts rather than simply hearing about them in lecture format, with the conceptual explanations presented in this collection designed to support and complement the "Activities and Homework" book. Advanced Algebra II was recently included and successfully reviewed as part of California's Free Digital Textbook Initiative and is available for use by California high schools.

This is the "teacher's guide" book in Kenny Felder's "Advanced Algebra II" series. This text was created with a focus on 'doing' and 'understanding' algebra concepts rather than simply hearing about them in lecture format, with the resources presented in this collection designed to assist educators with the presentation and delivery of the topics covered in the course. Advanced Algebra II was recently included and successfully reviewed as part of California's Free Digital Textbook Initiative and is available for use by California high schools.
