Hilton and Wu's unique approach brings the reader from the elements of linear algebra past the frontier of homological algebra. They describe a number of different algebraic domains, then emphasize the similarities and differences between them, employing the terminology of categories and functors. Exposition begins with set theory and group theory, and continues with coverage categories, functors, natural transformations, and duality, and closes with discussion of the two most fundamental derived functors of homological algebra, Ext and Tor.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePartial table of contents:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e GROUPS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cosets, Lagrange's Theorem, and Normal Subgroups.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Direct and Free Products.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ABELIAN GROUPS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Special Features of Commutative Groups.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Exact Sequences of Abelian Groups.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e CATEGORIES AND FUNCTORS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Natural Transformations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Duality Principle.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Adjoint Functors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e MODULES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Rings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Functor Hom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e INTEGRAL DOMAINS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e SEMI-SIMPLE RINGS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Morita Theorem.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE FUNCTORS EXT AND TOR.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e List of Symbols.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bibliography.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Mathematics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mathematics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mathematics%20%5BPB%5D%22\"\u003ePB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Interscience","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52293501288728,"sku":"9780471504054","price":153.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471504054.jpg?v=1781642705","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-course-in-modern-algebra-paperback-softback-9780471504054","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
