Description for Abstract Algebra (Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts)
Hardcover. Takes a novel approach to the standard introductory material on groups, rings, and fields. This title offers a semi-historical journey through the early decades of the subject as it emerged in the revolutionary work of Euler, Lagrange, Gauss, and Galois. It focuses on the central problem of studying the solutions of polynomial equations. Series: Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts. Num Pages: 227 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBF; PBMW.

This undergraduate text takes a novel approach to the standard introductory material on groups, rings, and fields. At the heart of the text is a semi-historical journey through the early decades of the subject as it emerged in the revolutionary work of Euler, Lagrange, Gauss, and Galois. Avoiding excessive abstraction whenever possible, the text focuses on the central problem of studying the solutions of polynomial equations. Highlights include a proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, essentially due to Euler, and a proof of the constructability of the regular 17-gon, in the manner of Gauss. Another novel feature is the ... Read more
