Tietoa tästä e-kirjasta

Through this book, upper undergraduate mathematics majors will master a challenging yet rewarding subject, and approach advanced studies in algebra, number theory and geometry with confidence. Groups, rings and fields are covered in depth with a strong emphasis on irreducible polynomials, a fresh approach to modules and linear algebra, a fresh take on Gröbner theory, and a group theoretic treatment of Rejewski's deciphering of the Enigma machine. It includes a detailed treatment of the basics on finite groups, including Sylow theory and the structure of finite abelian groups. Galois theory and its applications to polynomial equations and geometric constructions are treated in depth. Those interested in computations will appreciate the novel treatment of division algorithms. This rigorous text 'gets to the point', focusing on concisely demonstrating the concept at hand, taking a 'definitions first, examples next' approach. Exercises reinforce the main ideas of the text and encourage students' creativity.

Frank A. Zorzitto is Professor Emeritus at the University of Waterloo. After receiving his doctorate at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada, he served for forty years as a researcher in algebra and a professor in the Pure Mathematics Department at the University of Waterloo, and served as Department Chair for twelve years. In recognition of his commitment to the education of students, he received the University's Distinguished Teaching Award. Upon his retirement he was made an Honorary Member of the University. Currently he offers an online course to high school math teachers, based on his e-book A Taste of Number Theory. He continues to teach and to write in his retirement.
