Caracteristici

  • provides ample foundational material—both at the beginning of the text and in the appendices—while not avoiding calculus.
  • features a “rings” first approach to make abstract concepts more accessible. Over 225 substantial examples and 750 exercises (many having multiple parts) are provided.
  • Geometry is slowly integrated through the text to make the abstract concrete and permit more structures to play with.
  • culminates in Chapter 8 with the true integration of geometry and algebra.
  • encourages the use of geometric models to discover the relations between group theory and geometry.
