Continuing their exposition of algebra begun in Volume 1, in this book the authors present the complexities associated with the study of groups. The main topics studied are: integral and algebraic elements, rings of matrices, quaternions with applications to SU (2,C) and SO (3,R) as well as the rings of endomorphisms and fractions and ideal theory. As with its predecessor, this volume is filled…
Aiming to provide adequate preparation in algebra to prospective teachers and researchers in mathematics and related areas, this book delves into the intricacies of Algebra. Starting with the groups of symmetries of plane configurations, then moving onto study groups (with operators) and their homomorphisms, before diving into the complexities of Sylow’s theorems and Abelian groups. All of th…
