Uncommonly interesting introduction illuminates complexities of higher mathematics while offering a thorough understanding of elementary mathematics. Covers development of complex number system and elementary theories of numbers, polynomials and operations, determinants, matrices, constructions and graphical representations. Several exercises — without solutions.

Book DescriptionBasic Concepts of Algebra is an excellent refresher for algebra. It is also an indispensable reference book re-definitions, theory and steps in solving algebraic problems. It covers a wide range of the necessary concepts and content that will help the learner to develop a good background so as to waltz through algebra. The book has twelve chapters: Numbers; Algebraic Expressions; Indices 1, Roots and Radicals; Indices 2; Equations 1; Equations 2; Inequalities; Factorization; Quadratic Equations; Graphing; Solving Systems of Linear Equations and Logarithms. The goal of this book is to give the learner the necessary and required concepts, skills and knowledge so as to be successful in algebra. It is the author's view that a good grasp of the basic concepts of algebra will enable and encourage competence in statistics, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. The learner is therefore encouraged to go through each topic in this book meticulously and remember to practice questions from the exercises. The concepts are set out in a clear format with definitions, examples and exercises. To make sure that you understand the material, each chapter ends with a summary exercise. You should get the most from this book if you work steadily from the beginning to the end in each chapter. Each chapter has the relevant topics and sub-topics with definitions and examples that will allow the learner to easily workout the problems in the exercises.This book is suitable for high school and first year college students. It may be introduced at the upper elementary level and be used right up to adult education. The book is good for those persons who are a bit rusty in algebra or have forgotten content materials because it has been awhile since they have taken an algebra course. If such is the case then this is the perfect book for you to refresh your skills and sharpen your proficiency in core concepts of algebra.Finally I would like to reiterate that algebra can be fun but the learner has to first get a good grasp of the basic concepts so as to have a rewarding experience which will not only advance competency level in algebra but will be favorable for further studies in mathematics. Remember to make a firm commitment to spend the time to study and practice your algebra.

Wholeheartedly recommended to every student and user of mathematics, this is an extremely original and highly informative essay on algebra and its place in modern mathematics and science. From the fields studied in every university maths course, through Lie groups to cohomology and category theory, the author shows how the origins of each concept can be related to attempts to model phenomena in physics or in other branches of mathematics. Required reading for mathematicians, from beginners to experts.

Basic Algebra and Advanced Algebra systematically develop concepts and tools in algebra that are vital to every mathematician, whether pure or applied, aspiring or established. Together, the two books give the reader a global view of algebra and its role in mathematics as a whole. The presentation includes blocks of problems that introduce additional topics and applications to science and engineering to guide further study. Many examples and hundreds of problems are included, along with a separate 90-page section giving hints or complete solutions for most of the problems.

This text is intended as a one semester introduction to algebraic topology at the undergraduate and beginning graduate levels. Basically, it covers simplicial homology theory, the fundamental group, covering spaces, the higher homotopy groups and introductory singular homology theory. The text follows a broad historical outline and uses the proofs of the discoverers of the important theorems when this is consistent with the elementary level of the course. This method of presentation is intended to reduce the abstract nature of algebraic topology to a level that is palatable for the beginning student and to provide motivation and cohesion that are often lacking in abstact treatments. The text emphasizes the geometric approach to algebraic topology and attempts to show the importance of topological concepts by applying them to problems of geometry and analysis. The prerequisites for this course are calculus at the sophomore level, a one semester introduction to the theory of groups, a one semester introduc tion to point-set topology and some familiarity with vector spaces. Outlines of the prerequisite material can be found in the appendices at the end of the text. It is suggested that the reader not spend time initially working on the appendices, but rather that he read from the beginning of the text, referring to the appendices as his memory needs refreshing. The text is designed for use by college juniors of normal intelligence and does not require "mathematical maturity" beyond the junior level.

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that any complex polynomial must have a complex root. This book examines three pairs of proofs of the theorem from three different areas of mathematics: abstract algebra, complex analysis and topology. The first proof in each pair is fairly straightforward and depends only on what could be considered elementary mathematics. However, each of these first proofs leads to more general results from which the fundamental theorem can be deduced as a direct consequence. These general results constitute the second proof in each pair. To arrive at each of the proofs, enough of the general theory of each relevant area is developed to understand the proof. In addition to the proofs and techniques themselves, many applications such as the insolvability of the quintic and the transcendence of e and pi are presented. Finally, a series of appendices give six additional proofs including a version of Gauss'original first proof. The book is intended for junior/senior level undergraduate mathematics students or first year graduate students, and would make an ideal "capstone" course in mathematics.
