As the subtitle implies, those seeking a standard undergraduate text in abstract algebra should look elsewhere. The authors provide readers with a very brief introduction to some of the central structures of algebra: groups, rings, fields, and vector spaces. As an example of the text¿s brevity, its treatment of groups consists of definitions, examples, and a discussion of subgroups and cosets that culminates in LaGrange¿s theorem. There is no mention of group homomorphisms, normal subgroups, or quotient groups. Nonetheless, various applications of the subject not often addressed in traditional texts are treated within this work. It appears that the intent is to provide enough content for readers to comprehend these applications. Just enough elementary number theory is presented to allow a discussion of the RSA cryptosystem. Sufficient material on finite fields is given for a discussion of Latin squares and the Diffie-Hellman public key exchange. Adequate linear algebra topics foster a discussion of Hamming codes. This text will be suitable for an algebra-based course introducing students to abstract mathematical thought or an algebra course with an emphasis on applications. --D. S.

Synopsis
Abstract Algebra: A Gentle Introduction advantages a trend in mathematics textbook publishing towards smaller, less expensive and brief introductions to primary courses. The authors move away from the 'everything for everyone' approach so common in textbooks. Instead, they provide the reader with coverage of numerous algebraic topics to cover the most important areas of abstract algebra. Through a careful selection of topics, supported by interesting applications, the authors Intend the book to be used for a one-semester course in abstract algebra. It is suitable for an introductory course in for mathematics majors. The text is also very suitable for education majors who need to have an introduction to the topic. As textbooks go through various editions and authors employ the suggestions of numerous well-intentioned reviewers, these book become larger and larger and subsequently more expensive. This book is meant to counter that process. Here students are given a "gentle introduction," meant to provide enough for a course, yet also enough to encourage them toward future study of the topic. Features Groups before rings approach Interesting modern applications Appendix includes mathematical induction, the well-ordering principle, sets, functions, permutations, matrices, and complex nubers. Numerous exercises at the end of each section Chapter "Hint and Partial Solutions" offers built in solutions manual
