College Algebra and Trigonometry
Richard W. Beveridge · Clatsop Community College
This College Algebra text will cover a combination of classical algebra and analytic geometry, with an introduction to the transcendental exponential and logarithmic functions. If mathematics is the language of science, then algebra is the grammar of that language. Like grammar, algebra provides a structure to mathematical notation, in addition to its uses in problem solving and its ability to change the appearance of an expression without changing the value.

BIO2 W2026
Marc Facciotti · University of California, Davis
The BIO 2 series introduces students to the principles on which all life--from the smallest, simplest organisms to the largest communities--is based. BIO 2 concentrates on the cellular basis of life, concentrating on the structures and functions of cells and the biological molecules from which they are formed, the ways by which cells acquire, transform, and use chemical energy, and the mechanisms by which genetic information is stored, safeguarded, transmitted from one generation to the next.

Symmetry
Claire Vallance · University of Oxford
Group Theory is a branch of the mathematical field of algebra. One important application, the theory of symmetry groups, is a powerful tool for the prediction of physical properties of molecules and crystals. It is for example possible to determine whether a molecule can have a dipole moment. Many important predictions of spectroscopic experiments (optical, IR or Raman) can be made purely by group theoretical considerations.
