Description
|
A new edition of a successful book, Introduction to Abstract Algebra, Third Edition, is intended for a one or two semester abstract algebra course. The writing style is appealing to students and a great effort is made to motivate and be very clear about how the topics and applications relate. Over 500 solved examples are included to aid the understanding of the reader and to demonstrate how results in the theory are actually obtained. Many applications (particularly to coding theory and to combinatorics) are given which show how the abstract structures relate to real-world problems. In addition, historical notes and biographies of mathematicians put the subject into perspective.
An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available upon request from the Wiley editorial department.
