A student-friendly introduction to linear algebra that begins with vector geometry to build intuition, seamlessly transitioning into theory and computation through real-world applications.
In this book, developed from courses taught at the University of London, the author aims to show the value of using topological methods in combinatorial group theory. The topological material is given in terms of the fundamental groupoid, giving results and proofs that are both stronger and simpler than the traditional ones. Several chapters deal with covering spaces and complexes, an important…
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…

The book is in its 8th edition, and was published by Addison-Wesley Longman, Incorporated in 1999. The book measures 10.3 inches in length, 8.3 inches i…
A clear and practical college algebra textbook that integrates graphing technology to help students understand algebraic concepts through visual and applied approaches.
This book (...) defines the boundaries of the subject now called combinatorial group theory. (...)it is a considerable achievement to have concentrated a survey of the subject into 339 pages. This includes a substantial and useful bibliography; (over 1100 (items)). ...the book is a valuable and welcome addition to the literature, containing many results not previously available in a book. It wi…
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to linear algebra with a strong emphasis on applications and practical problem-solving. Designed for students encountering linear algebra for the first time, it balances theory and application, providing clear explanations of fundamental concepts such as matrices, vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors. Numerous example…
