The book offers an enjoyable read and conveys and develops enthusiasm for the beauty of the topics presented. It is comprehensive, lively, and engaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author presents the concepts and methodologies of contemporary abstract algebra as used by working mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists, and chemists. Students will learn how to do computations and to write proofs. A unique feature of the book are exercises that build the skill of generalizing, a skill that students should develop but rarely do. Applications are included to illustrate the utility of the abstract concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamples and exercises are the heart of the book. Examples elucidate the definitions, theorems, and proof techniques; exercises facilitate understanding, provide insight, and develop the ability to do proofs. The exercises often foreshadow definitions, concepts, and theorems to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChanges for the tenth edition include new exercises, new examples, new quotes, and a freshening of the discussion portions. The hallmark features of previous editions of the book are enhanced in this edition. These include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA good mixture of approximately 1900 computational and theoretical exercises, including computer exercises, that synthesize concepts from multiple chapters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApproximately 300 worked-out examples from routine computations to the challenging\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMany applications from scientific and computing fields and everyday life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHistorical notes and biographies that spotlight people and events\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMotivational and humorous quotations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumerous connections to number theory and geometry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile many partial solutions and sketches for the odd-numbered exercises appear in the book, an Instructor’s Solutions Manual written by the author has comprehensive solutions for all exercises and some alternative solutions to develop a critical thought and deeper understanding. It is available from CRC Press only. The Student Solution Manual has comprehensive solutions for all odd-numbered exercises and many even-numbered exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":45589763621102,"sku":"9780367651787","price":179.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780367651787_4903dbb8-7c70-456c-8066-bfd87c36784e.jpg?v=1721226487","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/contemporary-abstract-algebra","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
