Synopsis
Since abstract algebra is so important to the study of advanced mathematics, it is critical that students have a firm grasp of its principles and underlying theories before moving on to further study. To accomplish this, they require a concise, accessible, user-friendly textbook that is both challenging and stimulating. A First Graduate Course in Abstract Algebra is just such a textbook. Divided into two sections, this book covers both the standard topics (groups, modules, rings, and vector spaces) associated with abstract algebra and more advanced topics such as Galois fields, noncommutative rings, group extensions, and Abelian groups. The author includes review material where needed instead of in a single chapter, giving convenient access with minimal page turning. He also provides ample examples, exercises, and problem sets to reinforce the material. This book illustrates the theory of finitely generated modules over principal ideal domains, discusses tensor products, and demonstrates the development of determinants. It also covers Sylow theory and Jordan canonical form. A First Graduate Course in Abstract Algebra is ideal for a two-semester course, providing enough examples, problems, and exercises for a deep understanding. Each of the final three chapters is logically independent and can be covered in any order, perfect for a customized syllabus., Divided into two sections, this book covers both the standard topics (groups, modules, rings, and vector spaces) associated with abstract algebra and more advanced topics such as Galois fields, noncommutative rings, group extensions, and Abelian groups.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (1,980)
- i***z (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem is as described thankfully, but the shrink wrap was already torn when I opened it, and the message on the shrink wrap said not returnable if shrink wrap is removed. I would not have know the condition had I not removed the wrapping. Expected arrival date was delayed by 4 days which may have affected my choice in seller had I known upfront. Overall, I am happy with the price, the product, and order/delivery time frame.The Real World: An Introduction to Sociology 9th Ed. By Kerry Ferris (#146007256906)
