H. Mullis, and R. Angus. The book "Abstract Algebra 1st Edition" by David Lay, John P. H. Mullis, and R. Angus is a comprehensive guide to abstract algebra, providing readers with a deep understanding of the subject matter and its applications in various fields. The book covers topics such as groups, rings, and fields, and their properties and applications. It also discusses the historical development of abstract algebra and its relationship with other branches of mathematics. The book begins with an introduction to the basics of abstract algebra, including definitions, examples, and exercises to help readers grasp the concepts. The authors then delve into more advanced topics such as homomorphisms, isomorphisms, and cosets, providing readers with a solid foundation in the subject. They also explore the connections between abstract algebra and other areas of mathematics, such as number theory and geometry. One of the unique features of this book is its focus on the historical development of abstract algebra, which helps readers understand how the subject has evolved over time. The authors provide insights into the contributions of famous mathematicians who have shaped the field, making it an engaging read for anyone interested in the history of mathematics. The book's emphasis on applications makes it stand out from other textbooks on abstract algebra.
