Purchase options and add-ons

This textbook presents modern algebra from the ground up using numbers and symmetry. Designed for a typical one-semester undergraduate course in modern algebra, it provides a gentle introduction to the subject by allowing students to see the ideas at work in accessible examples, rather than plunging them immediately into a sea of formalism. The student is involved at once with interesting algebraic structures, such as the Gaussian integers and the various rings of integers modulon, and is encouraged to take the time to explore and become familiar with those structures.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a gem.

The forward describes this book as a "trip to the modern algebra zoo", and it's a fit description. It shows many of the oddities that typical math courses don't touch at the high school or junior college level courses, and makes them available to the high school or junior college student who loves math. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a modern tabloid of math, but it's close.

5.0 out of 5 stars If Birkhoff and Mac Lane is too intimidating for you...
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 1998
An easy-to-read self-study guide through the wonderful world of modern algebra. Excellent chapters on Z[sqrt(2)], and Q[sqrt(2)]. Symmetries, groups, tiling patterns, the 17 plane groups, fields. A whole chapter on error correcting codes. Written in the same friendly style as V. Bryant's "Aspects of Combinatorics" and R.P Burn's "A Pathway into Number Theory." Each section has many practical, insightful examples and a good problem set.
