Contemporary Abstract Algebra, Tenth Edition For more than three
decades, this classic text has been widely appreciated by
instructors and students alike. The book offers an enjoyable read
and conveys and develops enthusiasm for the beauty of the topics
presented. It is comprehensive, lively, and engaging. The author
presents the concepts and methodologies of contemporary abstract
algebra as used by working mathematicians, computer scientists,
physicists, and chemists. Students will learn how to do
computations and to write proofs. A unique feature of the book are
exercises that build the skill of generalizing, a skill that
students should develop but rarely do. Applications are included to
illustrate the utility of the abstract concepts. Examples and
exercises are the heart of the book. Examples elucidate the
definitions, theorems, and proof techniques; exercises facilitate
understanding, provide insight, and develop the ability to do
proofs. The exercises often foreshadow definitions, concepts, and
theorems to come. Changes for the tenth edition include new
exercises, new examples, new quotes, and a freshening of the
discussion portions. The hallmark features of previous editions of
the book are enhanced in this edition. These include: * A good
mixture of approximately 1900 computational and theoretical
exercises, including computer exercises, that synthesize concepts
from multiple chapters * Approximately 300 worked-out examples from
routine computations to the challenging * Many applications from
scientific and computing fields and everyday life * Historical
notes and biographies that spotlight people and events *
Motivational and humorous quotations * Numerous connections to
number theory and geometry While many partial solutions and
sketches for the odd-numbered exercises appear in the book, an
Instructor's Solutions Manual written by the author has
comprehensive solutions for all exercises and some alternative
solutions to develop a critical thought and deeper understanding.
It is available from CRC Press only. The Student Solution Manual
has comprehensive solutions for all odd-numbered exercises and many
even-numbered exercises. Author Joseph A. Gallian earned his PhD
from Notre Dame. In addition to receiving numerous national awards
for his teaching and exposition, he has served terms as the Second
Vice President, and the President of the MAA. He has served on 40
national committees, chairing ten of them. He has published over
100 articles and authored six books. Numerous articles about his
work have appeared in the national news outlets, including the New
York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, and Newsweek,
among many others.
