What You Will Learn in Abstract Algebra: Theory and Applications
Abstract Algebra: Theory and Applications 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. The first half of the book presents group theory, through the Sylow theorems, with enough material for a semester-long course. The second-half is suitable for a second semester and presents important topics rings, integral domains, Boolean algebras, vector spaces, and fields, concluding with Galois Theory.
This text is covers the traditional theoretical aspects of groups, rings, and fields. It also includes many exercises and real-world applications, such as cryptography and coding theory. The nature of the exercises ranges over several categories; computational, conceptual, and theoretical problems are included. It also uses SageMath, a free software, to help students visualize and solve problems.
