| Abstract
|
:
|
As a cornerstone of mathematical science, the importance of modern algebra and discrete structures to many areas of science and technology is apparent and growing with extensive use_in computing science, physics, chemistry, and data communications as well as in new areas of mathematics such as combinatorics._ This book contains the essentials of abstract (or modern) algebra together with a wide variety of applications._
