A Concrete Introduction To Higher Algebra

(Size: 23x15cms.), This book is an informal and readable introduction to higher algebra at the postcalculus level. The concepts of ring and field are introduction through study of the familiar examples of the integers and polynomials. A strong emphasis on congruence classes leads in a natural way to finite groups and finite fields. Over 900 exercises, ranging from routine examples to extensions of theory, are found throughout the boo; hints and answers for many of them are included in an appendix.
