Algebra, Updated 2nd Edition
Algebra, Updated 2nd Edition by Michael Artin is ideal for the honors undergraduate or introductory graduate course. This revision of the classic text incorporates 20 years of feedback and the author's own teaching experience. It discusses concrete topics of algebra in greater detail than most texts, preparing students for the more abstract concepts; linear algebra is tightly integrated throughout.
Features:
- High emphasis on concrete topics such as symmetry, linear groups, quadratic number fields, and lattices prepares students to learn more abstract concepts.
- The chapter organization emphasizes the connections between algebra and geometry at the start, with the beginning chapters containing the content most important for students in other fields.
- Treatment beyond the basics sets this book apart. Students with a reasonably mature mathematical background will benefit from the relatively informal treatments the author gives to the more advanced topics.
- Content notes in the preface include teaching tips from the author's own classroom experience.
- Challenging exercises are indicated with an asterisk, allowing instructors to easily create the right assignments for their class.
