Advanced modern algebra

By: Rotman, J.JosephMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: Rhode, Island: American Mathematical Society, [c2002]Edition: 2nd EdDescription: 1008 pISBN: 9781470419165Subject(s): MathematicsLOC classification: QA154.3
Contents:
Chapter 1. Groups I Chapter 2. Commutative rings I Chapter 3. Galois theory Chapter 4. Groups II Chapter 5. Commutative rings II Chapter 6. Rings Chapter 7. Representation theory Chapter 8. Advanced linear algebra Chapter 9. Homology Chapter 10. Commutative rings III
Summary: This book is designed as a text for the first year of graduate algebra, but it can also serve as a reference since it contains more advanced topics as well. This second edition has a different organization than the first. It begins with a discussion of the cubic and quartic equations, which leads into permutations, group theory, and Galois theory (for finite extensions; infinite Galois theory is discussed later in the book). The study of groups continues with finite abelian groups (finitely generated groups are discussed later, in the context of module theory), Sylow theorems, simplicity of projective unimodular groups, free groups and presentations, and the Nielsen–Schreier theorem. --- summary provided by publisher
