In all but a few chapters the work is based upon limits, the proofs being made as rigorous as seems advisable for immature students, with occasional com ment on points where the proof is not rigorous, or where theorems not yet proved are employed.

This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An informal and readable introduction to higher algebra at the post-calculus level. The concepts of ring and field are introduced through study of the familiar examples of the integers and polynomials, with much emphasis placed on congruence classes leading the way to finite groups and finite fields. New examples and theory are integrated in a well-motivated fashion and made relevant by many applications -- to cryptography, coding, integration, history of mathematics, and especially to elementary and computational number theory. The later chapters include expositions of Rabiin's probabilistic primality test, quadratic reciprocity, and the classification of finite fields. Over 900 exercises, ranging from routine examples to extensions of theory, are scattered throughout the book, with hints and answers for many of them included in an appendix.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Course in Algebra His book may be used by students who have completed a course in arithmetic but who have not previously studied algebra. The statements of all principles and the explana tions of all examples have been made as simple and direct as possible. Emphasis has been placed upon the reason for each step taken, whether it be in the proof of a principle or in the explanation of an exercise. Such proofs of principles as may be omitted by the student when taking the subject for the first time have been plainly marked. The examples are all new and have not been copied from other text-books. There are exercises for written solu tion, for mental solution, and 423 explanatory examples, a total of examples. These examples have been so constructed and graded as to contain a great variety of number-combinations. Thus the student is constantly drilled in arithmetic.

The chapters on Rational and Irrational Numbers are intended for reference rather than for detailed study, while the chapters on Permutations, Combinations and Probability, Partial Fractions, Complex Numbers, and Integration may be substituted for other chapters as subjects of study, or serve for reference in later work.

The first few chapters are devoted to a fuller discussion of Ratio, Proportion, Variation, and the Progressions, which in the former work were treated in an elementary manner; and we have here introduced theorems and examples which are unsuitable for a first course of reading. From this point the work covers ground for the most part new to the student, and enters upon subjects of special importance: these we have endeavoured to treat minutely and thoroughly, discussing both bookwork and examples with that fulness which we have always found necessary in our experience as teachers. It has been our aim to discuss all the essential parts as completely as possible within the limits of a single volume, but in a few Of the later chapters it has been im possible to find room for more than an introductory sketch in all such cases our Object has been to map out a suitable first course of reading, referring the student to special treatises for fuller information.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advanced Algebra The review Of the First Year Course to radicals is intentionally rapid, being presented as succinctly as clearness and thoroughness permit. The exercises are moderate in number and difficulty. Since radicals and quadratics usually come at the end Of the First Year Course, they are seldom as well understood or remembered as the earlier topics, and therefore should be reviewed in more detail. One aim sought in Part I was to unify the preceding mathematics, - arithmetic, algebra, and plane geometry, - as effectively as possible. In accordance with a suggestion Of the Society for the Promotion Of Engineering Education, there will be found on page 89 a Summary Of the fundamental principles Of elementary algebra, for study and reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Higher Algebra This text is prepared to meet the needs of the student who will continue his mathematics as far as the calculus, and is written in the Spirit of applied mathematics. This does not imply that algebra for the. Engineer is a different subject from algebra for the college man or for the secondary student who is prepared to take such a course. In fact, the topics which the engineer must emphasize, such as numerical computations, checks, graphical methods, use of tables, and the solution of specific problems, are among the most vital fea tures of the subject for any student. But important as these topics are, they do not comprise the substance of algebra, which enables it to serve as part of the foundation for future work. Rather they furnish an atmosphere in which that foundation may be well and intelligently laid. The concise review contained in the first chapter covers the topics which have direct bearing on the work which follows. No attempt is made to repeat all of the definitions of elementary algebra. It is assumed that the student retains a certain residue from his earlier study of the subject. The quadratic equation is treated with unusual care and thorough ness. This is done not only for the purpose of review, but because a mastery of the theory of this equation is absolutely necessary for effective work in analytical geometry and calculus. Furthermore, a student who is well grounded in this particular is in a position to appreciate the methods and results of the theory of the general equation with a minimum of effort. The theory of equations forms the keystone of most courses in higher algebra. The chapter on this subject is developed gradually, and yet with pointed directness, in the hope that the processes which students often perform in a perfunctory manner will take on additional life and interest.

Experience shows that when a student returns to the study of algebra, after even a summer's vacation, a review is very necessary; and that it is absolutely indispensable if he comes back after a year spent on geometry. The review presented in the early chapters is brief, yet sufficiently thorough. Each review topic has been given a broader and more advanced treat ment than is permissible in a first course. New material is used throughout and many new applications are given in order to make the entire review appeal to the student as fresh and inviting.

An effort has been made to give unity to the work by proposing one general problem, - the discovery of the roots of Higher Numerical Equations. Everything has been omitted which does not bear directly on the solution of this problem. It hardly need be added that in so brief a presentation of the subject only the more important theorems could be included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An University Algebra The present volume is designed for use in these advanced courses of training. Thus, while it is thought that the former affords as extended a course in Algebra as is expedient for the preparatory schools, it is believed that this will be found to contain all that these higher schools require. It was deemed necessary to make the work a complete treatise, including the Elements, for purposes of reference, and for reviews, and also in consideration of the fact that our higher institutions have various standards of requirement for admission. In fact, there are few students of Higher Algebra who do not find it necessary to have the Elements at hand for occasional consultation. This Elementary portion is embraced in the first 150 pages, and contains all the definitions, principles. Rules, and demonstrations of the complete school algebra, with an abundant collection of New Examples; but from it all ele mentary illustrations, explanations, solutions, and suggestions, are omitted. The whole is so arranged as to secure readiness of reference and convenience of review by somewhat mature students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written as an introduction to higher algebra for students with a background of a year of calculus. The book developed out of a set of notes for a sophomore-junior level course at the State University of New York at Albany entitled Classical Algebra. In the 1950s and before, it was customary for the first course in algebra to be a course in the theory of equations, consisting of a study of polynomials over the complex, real, and rational numbers, and, to a lesser extent, linear algebra from the point of view of systems of equations. Abstract algebra, that is, the study of groups, rings, and fields, usually followed such a course. In recent years the theory of equations course has disappeared. Without it, students entering abstract algebra courses tend to lack the experience in the algebraic theory of the basic classical examples of the integers and polynomials necessary for understanding, and more importantly, for ap preciating the formalism. To meet this problem, several texts have recently appeared introducing algebra through number theory.
