Description:

A new edition of the classic undergraduate text introducing abstract algebra using concrete examples. The authors ground their explanations with computational and theoretical exercises to develop the student's "power to think for himself," covering topics such as the role of careful proof in algebra, linear algebra as grounded in geometry, groups as expressions of symmetry, and subgroups and subsystems leading to lattice theory. This volume is a corrected version of the 4th edition and is offered by a new publisher. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
