商品簡介
This textbook is based on a lecture course in mathematics in 1998, but augmented with exercises to allow students to practice the methods described. Patil (Indian Institute of Science) and Storch (Ruhr U., Germany) provide full proofs in most cases, which assume that students have some experience with the basic concepts of algebra such as groups, rings, fields, vector spaces, and modules. They introduce the two areas of mathematics together and demonstrate their interplay. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
