Book Description

Geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, this text surveys fundamental algebraic structures and maps between these structures. Its techniques are used in many areas of mathematics, with applications to physics, engineering, and computer science as well. Author Robert B. Ash, a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Illinois, focuses on intuitive thinking. He also conveys the intrinsic beauty of abstract algebra while keeping the proofs as brief and clear as possible.

The early chapters provide students with background by investigating the basic properties of groups, rings, fields, and modules. Later chapters examine the relations between groups and sets, the fundamental theorem of Galois theory, and the results and methods of abstract algebra in terms of algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry, noncommutative algebra, and homological algebra, including categories and functors. An extensive supplement to the text delves much further into homological algebra than most introductory texts, offering applications-oriented results. Solutions to all problems appear in the text.

• Abstract Algebra: Theory and Applications (Thomas W Judson)

  This book is designed to teach the principles and theory of abstract algebra to college juniors and seniors in a rigorous manner. Its strengths include a wide range of exercises, both computational and theoretical, plus many nontrivial applications.

• Galois Theory (Emil Artin)

  French mathematician Evariste Galois developed the Galois theory of groups-one of the most penetrating concepts in modem mathematics. The elements of the theory are clearly presented in this lectures delivered by noted mathematician Emil Artin.

• Advanced Modern Algebra (Joseph J. Rotman)

  More than merely a succession of definition-theorem-proofs, this text put results and ideas in context so that students can appreciate why a certain topic is being studied, and where definitions originate.

  This open access textbook presents a comprehensive treatment of the arithmetic theory of Quaternion Algebras and orders, a subject with applications in diverse areas of mathematics. Numerous pathways offer explorations in many different directions.

• Elementary Abstract Algebra: Examples and Applications

  It introduces the basic notions of group theory by a thorough treatment of important examples, including complex numbers, modular arithmetic, symmetries, and permutations, also applications to communications, cryptography, and coding theory.

• Algebra: Abstract and Concrete (Frederick M. Goodman)

  This introduction to modern or abstract algebra addresses the conventional topics of groups, rings, and fields with symmetry as a unifying theme, while it introduces readers to the active practice of mathematics.

• Set Theoretic Approach to Algebraic Structures in Mathematics

  This book brings out how sets in algebraic structures can be used to construct the most generalized algebraic structures, like set linear algebra / vector space, set ideals in groups and rings and semigroups, and topological set vector spaces.
