Undergraduate Algebra
Undergraduate Algebra is a text for the standard undergraduate algebra course. The author has also included a chapter on groups of matrices which is unique in a book at this level. It concentrates on the basic structures and results of algebra, discussing groups, rings, modules, fields, polynomials, finite fields, Galois Theory, and other topics.
Illustrative examples accompany the general theory. Throughout the book, the author strikes a balance between abstraction and concrete results, which enhance each other. Numerous exercises range from the computational to the theoretical, complementing results from the main text.§For the third edition, the author has included new material on product structure for matrices (e.g.
the Iwasawa and polar decompositions), as well as a description of the conjugation representation of the diagonal group. He has also added material on polynomials, culminating in Noah Snyder's proof of the Mason-Stothers polynomial abc theorem.§About the First Edition:§"The exposition is down-to-earth and at the same time very smooth. The book can be covered easily in a one-year course and can be also used in a one-term course...the flavor of modern mathematics is sprinkled here and there."§Hideyuki Matsumura, Zentralblatt
