A First Course in Abstract Algebra: ABSTRACT ALGEBRA

Description: A First Course in Abstract Algebra by John B. Fraleigh Considered a classic by many, A First Course in Abstract Algebra is an in-depth introduction to abstract algebra. Focused on groups, rings and fields, this text gives students a firm foundation for more specialized work by emphasizing an understanding of the nature of algebraic structures. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This is an in-depth introduction to abstract algebra. Focused on groups, rings and fields, it should give students a firm foundation for more specialized work by emphasizing an understanding of the nature of algebraic structures. Features include: a classical approach to abstract algebra focussing on applications; an accessible pedagogy including historical notes written by Victor Katz; and a study of group theory.
