Synopsis
This book is an informal & readable introduction to higher algebra at the post-calculus level. The concepts of ring & field are introduced through study of the familiar examples of the integers & polynomials. A strong emphasis on congruence classes leads in a natural way to finite groups & finite fields. The new examples & theory are built in a well-motivated fashion & made relevant by many applications--to cryptography, coding, integration, history of mathematics & especially to elementary & computational number theory. The later chapters include expositions of Rabiin's probabilistic primality test, quadratic reciprocity & the classification of finite fields.Over 900 exercises, ranging from routine examples to extensions of theory, are found throughout the book; hints & answers for many of them are included in an appendix.
