Description
Further Algebra and Applications is the second volume of a new and revised edition of P.M. Cohn’s classic three-volume text “Algebra” which is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding introductory algebra textbooks. For this edition, the text has been reworked and updated into two self-contained, companion volumes, covering advanced topics in algebra for second- and third-year undergraduate and postgraduate research students. The first volume, “Basic Algebra,” covers the important results of algebra; this companion volume focuses on the applications and covers the more advanced parts of topics such as: – groups and algebras – homological algebra – universal algebra – general ring theory – representations of finite groups – coding theory – languages and automata The author gives a clear account, supported by worked examples, with full proofs. There are numerous exercises with occasional hints, and some historical remarks.
