EXCERPT: PREFACE - In this text the authors have attempted to introduce a judicious blending of the set theoretical approach and the more traditional approach to the various topics. The set theoretical approach can be very useful in demonstrating relationships between apparently unrelated topics and, from this point of view, is a powerful mathematical tool. However, overindulgence in set theory simply for the sake of using sets may often cause basically simple ideas to appear much more complicated than they actually… Read More

EXCERPT: Preface ...The present book, Basic Algebra I, and the forthcoming Basic Algebra II were originally envisioned as new editions of our Lectures in Abstract Algebra (1951, 1953, and 1964 respectively). However, as we began to think about the task at hand, particularly that of taking into account the changed curricula in our undergraduate and graduate schools, we decided to organize the material in a… Read More

New York: Dover Publications, Inc. Previous Owner Markings (Highlighting); Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Moderately Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. SYNOPSIS: This book presents an elementary and concrete approach to linear algebra that is both useful and essential for the beginning student and teacher of mathematics. Here are the fundamental concepts of matrix algebra, first in an intuitive framework and then in a more formal manner. A variety of interpretations and applications of the elements and operations considered are included. In particular, the use of matrices in the study of transformations of the plane is stressed. The purpose of this book is to familiarize the reader with the role of matrices in abstract algebraic systems, and to illustrate its effective use as a mathematical tool in geometry. The first two chapters cover the basic concepts of matrix algebra that are important in the study of physics,… Read More
