“When applying the Laplace transform, it is important to have a good understanding of the theory underlying it, rather than just a cursory knowledge of its application. This text provides that understanding.” — From the back cover

Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics: Projective Geometry (Softcover)
“The prerequisites for reading this book are fairly limited: a good command of linear algebra, some knowledge of quadratic forms and field extensions, and a few notions about the irreducibility of polynomials and factorization in rings of polynomials.” — Pierre Samuel, Author, in the Introduction
Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics: Geometric Constructions (Hardback)
“Geometric constructions have been a popular part of mathematics throughout history. The ancient Greeks made the subject an art, which was enriched by the medieval Arabs, but which required the algebra of the Renaissance for a thorough understanding. Through coordinate geometry, various geometric construction tools can be associated with various fields of real numbers. This book is about these associations.” — From the back cover
London Mathematical Society Student Texts 29: Undergraduate Commutative Algebra (Softcover)
“Commutative algebra is at the crossroads of algebra, number theory and algebraic geometry. This textbook, intended for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students with some previous experience of rings and fields…” — From the front end page
Graduate Texts in Mathematics: Introduction to Cyclotomic Fields, Second Edition (Hardback)
“Introduction to Cyclotomic Fields is a carefully written exposition of a central area of number theory that can be used as a second course in algebraic number theory.” — From the back cover
Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics: Groups and Symmetry (Hardback)
“As prerequisites I assume a first course in linear algebra (including matrix multiplication and the representation of linear maps between Euclidean spaces by matrices, though not the abstract theory of vector spaces) plus familiarity with the basic properties of the real and complex numbers. It would be a pity to teach group theory without matrix groups available as a rich source of examples, especially since matrices are so heavily used in application.” — Mark Anthony Armstrong, Author, in the Preface
