Description: Introductory Modern Algebra : A Historical Approach, Hardcover by Stahl, Saul, ISBN 0470876166, ISBN-13 9780470876169, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Stahl (mathematics, U. of Kansas) provides undergraduate mathematics majors and prospective high school mathematics teachers a one-semester introduction to modern algebra that emphasizes the field's roots in the issue of the solvability of equations by radicals. Beginning with the Renaissance solution of the cubic equation, he traces developments to Galois' description of his ideas, encountering all the important concepts, each in a well-motivated manner. To the 1996 first edition he has added new chapters on ring theory from the Theorem of Pythagoras to Fermat's characterization of primes that are the sum of two square integers; on quadratic fields, quadratic integers, and ideals; and on rings and ideals in the abstract manner of today. Answers to the exercises are in the instructor's manual. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
