The down-to-earth presentation is accessible to a readership with no prior knowledge of abstract algebra. Students are led to algebraic concepts and questions in a natural way through their everyday experiences. Applications include:Identification numbers and modular arithmetic(linear) error-correcting codes, including cyclic codesruler and compass constructionscryptographysymmetry of patterns in the real planeAbstract Algebra: Structure and Applicationis suitable as a text for a first course on abstract algebra whose main purpose is to generate interest in the subject or as a supplementary text for more advanced courses. The material paves the way to subsequent courses that further develop the theory of abstract algebra and will appeal to students of mathematics, mathematics education, computer science, and engineering interested in applications of algebraic concepts. | Abstract Algebra by David R.
