Product Details

From the back cover: "The broad scope of topics encompasses Euclid's algorithm; congruences; polynomials; complex numbers and algebraic fields; algebraic integers, ideals, andp -adic numbers; groups; the Galois theory of equations; algebraic geometry, matrices and determinants; invariants and tensors; algebras; group algebras; and more.

'It is refreshing to find a book which deals briefly but competently with a variety of concatenated algebraic topics, that is not written for the specialist,' enthused the Journal of the Institute of Actuaries Students' Society about this volume, adding 'Littlewood's book can be unreservedly recommended.'"
