Salient Features

“• A focus on groups, rings and fields gives students a firm foundation for more specialized work by emphasizing an understanding of the nature of algebraic structures. • Gives clear and concise explanations of the theory, with well-thought-out examples to highlight key points and clarify more difficult concepts. • UPDATED – Many exercises in the text have been updated, and many are new. Most exercise sets are broken down into parts consisting of computations, concepts, and theory. • NEW – Applied topics — such as RSA encryption and coding theory as well as examples of applying Gröbner bases — have been added to the 8th Edition. • Historical notes written by Victor Katz, an authority on the history of math, provide valuable perspective.”
