The first two chapters present preliminary topics such as properties of the integers and equivalence relations. The author then explores the first major algebraic structure, the group, progressing as far as the Sylow theorems and the classification of finite abelian groups. An introduction to ring theory follows, leading to a discussion of fields and polynomials that includes sections on splitting fields and the construction of finite fields. The final part contains applications to public key cryptography as well as classical straightedge and compass constructions. Explaining key topics at a gentle pace, this book is aimed at undergraduate students. It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject and contains over 500 exercises, half of which have detailed solutions provided. 410 0$aSpringer Undergraduate Mathematics Series,$x1615-2085 606 $aGroup theory 606 $aAssociative rings 606 $aRings (Algebra) 606 $aAlgebra 606 $aField theory (Physics) 606 $aGroup Theory and Generalizations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11078 606 $aAssociative Rings and Algebras$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11027 606 $aField Theory and Polynomials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11051 615 0$aGroup theory. 615 0$aAssociative rings. 615 0$aRings (Algebra). 615 0$aAlgebra. 615 0$aField theory (Physics). 615 14$aGroup Theory and Generalizations. 615 24$aAssociative Rings and Algebras. 615 24$aField Theory and Polynomials. 676 $a512.02 700 $aLee$b Gregory T$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0474809 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300108203321 996 $aAbstract Algebra$91563199 997 $aUNINA
