Accessible to junior and senior undergraduate students, this survey
contains many examples, solved exercises, sets of problems, and
parts of abstract algebra of use in many other areas of discrete
mathematics. Although this is a mathematics book, the authors have
made great efforts to address the needs of users employing the
techniques discussed. Fully worked out computational examples are
backed by more than 500 exercises throughout the 40 sections. This
new edition includes a new chapter on cryptology, and an enlarged
chapter on applications of groups, while an extensive chapter has
been added to survey other applications not included in the first
edition. The book assumes knowledge of the material covered in a
course on linear algebra and, preferably, a first course in
(abstract) algebra covering the basics of groups, rings, and
fields.
