商品簡介
A textbook that presents the basic ideas of modern algebra, its problem-solving skills and basic proof techniques, and some of its elegant applications. The link with geometry comes from understanding a geometry by means of its group of motions. There are over 225 substantial examples and some 750 exercises. These include computations, proofs varying from the routine to the challenging, and open-ended problems. Assumes some experience with linear algebra (with exposure to matrix algebra and naive vector space theory) and the language of proofs. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
