Considered a classic by many, A First Course in Abstract Algebra is an in-depth introduction to abstract algebra. Focused on groups, rings and fields, this text gives students a firm foundation for more specialized work by emphasizing an understanding of the nature of algebraic structures.
This compact formulary presents essential mathematical, statistical, and financial formulas tailored specifically for economics and business students. Covering topics from sequences, series, and differential equations to linear algebra, optimization, and probability, it provides clear definitions and focused applications throughout. Designed as a quick-reference companion for undergraduate and …
This edition has evolved to address the needs of today's student. While maintaining its unique table of contents and functions-based approach, the text now includes additional components to build skill, address critical thinking, solve applications, and apply technology to support traditional algebraic solutions. It continues to incorporate an open design, helpful features, careful explanations…
This comprehensive Kindle resource introduces core topics in discrete mathematics—such as logic, set theory, relations, functions, combinatorics, graph theory, Boolean algebra, and finite automata—through clear explanations and structured examples. Designed for undergraduate students of computer science, engineering, and mathematics, it emphasizes foundational theory alongside practical app…
In the last 20 years, the study of operator algebras has developed from a branch of functional analysis to a central field of mathematics with applications in both pure mathematics and mathematical physics. The theory was initiated by von Neumann and Murray as a tool for studying group representations and as a framework for quantum mechanics, and has since kept in touch with its roots in physic…
Widely acclaimed algebra text. This book is designed to give the reader insight into the power and beauty that accrues from a rich interplay between different areas of mathematics. The book carefully develops the theory of different algebraic structures, beginning from basic definitions to some in--depth results, using numerous examples and exercises to aid the reader's understanding. In this w…
Geometry has been easier to learn because of the classic H.S.M. Coxeter. This first edition popular with it's brilliant exposition, the flexibility permitted by relatively self-contained chapters, and broad coverage ranging from topics in the Euclidean plane, to affine geometry, projective geometry, differential geometry, and topology.
This scholarly volume gathers expert surveys and original research papers examining key developments in stability theory as the 20th century closed. Organized into four main sections—first approximation methods, modern refinements of Lyapunov’s direct method, stability of periodic differential systems, and real-world applications—it explores both theoretical advances and practical implica…
This introductory statistics textbook blends clear explanations of statistical concepts—such as data description, probability, sampling distributions, hypothesis testing, and linear regression—with practical real-world applications and integrated technology support. Designed for one- or two-semester undergraduate courses, the 9th edition emphasizes statistical thinking, evidence assessmen…
