Abstract Algebra : : Applications to Galois Theory, Algebraic Geometry, Representation Theory and Cryptography / / Celine Carstensen-Opitz, Benjamin Fine, Gerhard Rosenberger, Anja Moldenhauer.

A new approach to conveying abstract algebra, the area that studies algebraic structures, such as groups, rings, fields, modules, vector spaces, and algebras, that is essential to various scientific disciplines such as particle physics and cryptology. It provides a well written account of the theore...
