This is the third edition of the book. In addition to introducing the main concepts of modern algebra, new topic are added: categories and functors; an introduction to representations of finite groups; projective and injective modules; an introduction to noetherian rings and modules and to Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz. There is ample material for a two semester course in abstract algebra.
Accessible but rigorous, this outstanding text encompasses all of the topics covered by a typical course in elementary abstract algebra.
A new approach to abstract algebra that eases student anxieties by building on fundamentals. Introduction to Abstract Algebra presents a breakthrough approach to teaching one of math's most intimidating concepts.
The Second Edition of this classic text maintains the clear exposition, logical organization, and accessible breadth of coverage that have been its hallmarks.
Lucid coverage of the major theories of abstract algebra, with helpful illustrations and exercises included throughout. Unabridged, corrected republication of the work originally published 1971. Bibliography. Index.
Excellent textbook provides undergraduates with an accessible introduction to the basic concepts of abstract algebra and to the analysis of abstract algebraic systems. Features many examples and problems.
