Identifies essentials and describes interrelationships between particular theories. Selected classical theorems and results relevant to current research are proved rigorously within the theory of each structure. Throughout the text the reader is frequently prompted to perform integrated exercises of verification and to explore examples. 606 $aAlgebra 606 $aMathematics 606 $aÀlgebra$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aAlgebra. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 7$aÀlgebra 676 $a512.02 676 $a512/.02 700 $aFoldes$b Stephan$f1951-$0521673 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139338903321 996 $aFundamental structures of algebra and discrete mathematics$9837663 997 $aUNINA
