Sound Reasoning

Sound Reasoning Long time music author Anthony Brandt adds a new section to his collection, "Sound Reasoning". "Hearing Harmony" is an introductory course on harmony in Western classical music. It is entirely listening based; no ability to read music is required. Aural examples are interpolated directly into the text. "Listening Galleries" provide exercises to strengthen users' confidence. "Hearing Harmony" takes a non-traditional approach: Instead of focusing on chord identification, it puts a priority on harmonic structure. The goal is to provide an accessible and rewarding resource that uses a minimum of technical language and deepens one's appreciation of classical music. "Hearing Harmony" can be used as a stand-alone course; it is also compatible with standard music appreciation and harmony courses, either as preparation or a companion text.

Advanced Algebra II

Advanced Algebra II

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

Collaborative Statistics

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.

"I found the Java Syntax Primer MOST HELPFUL in helping me understand the syntax of constructors. It is clear, concise, and much appreciated."
