Elementary Abstract Algebra: Examples and Applications
by Justin Hill, Chris Thron
Publisher: Texas A&M University 2017
ISBN/ASIN: 1312856351
Number of pages: 785
Description:
This book is our best effort at making Abstract Algebra as down-to earth as possible. We use concrete mathematical structures such as the complex numbers, integers mod n, symmetries, and permutations to introduce some of the beautifully general ideas of group theory.
