Our earlier Algebra by Design contains topics of elementary algebra usually studied in the first semester of algebra. More Algebra by Design contains more advanced topics often taught in the second semester. The second edition, new in 2011, includes four new exercises on the slope/intercept form of a line and linear inequalities in the coordinate plane.
