Abstract Algebra 'An Interactive Approach'

By integrating the use of GAP and Mathematica ® , this text presents a hands-on approach to learning about groups, rings, and fields. Each chapter includes both GAP and Mathematica commands, corresponding Mathematica notebooks, traditional exercises, and several interactive computer problems that utilize GAP and Mathematica to explore groups and rings. The author discusses topics not covered in similar texts, such as semi-direct products and skew fields, and includes many diagrams produced by Mathematica to help readers visualize difficult concepts. The accompanying CD-ROM contains GAP packages and Mathematica notebooks and a solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.
