Abstract Algebra: A Computational Approach
By Unknown Author.
Description
From Preface: "This book is intended as a text for a one-year introductory course in abstract algebra in which algorithmic questions and computation are stressed. A significant amount of computer usage by students is anticipated. My decision to write the book grew out of my interest in group-theoretic algorithms and my observation that learning the definitions, the theorems, and even the proofs of algebra too often fails to equip students adequately to solve computational algebraic problems. The goals of the book are to: 1. Introduce students to the basic concepts of algebra and t...
