Post-Modern Algebraoffers a truly up-to-date alternative to the standard approach,explaining topics from an applications-based perspective ratherthan by abstract principles alone. The book broadens the field ofstudy to include algebraic structures and methods used in currentand emerging mathematical research, and describes the powerful yetsubtle techniques of universal algebra and category theory.Classical algebraic areas of groups, rings, fields, and vectorspaces are bolstered by such topics as ordered sets, monoids,monoid actions, quasigroups, loops, lattices, Boolean algebras,categories, and Heyting algebras. The text features:\u003cbr\u003e * A clear and concise treatment at an introductory level, tested inuniversity courses.\u003cbr\u003e * A wealth of exercises illustrating concepts and their practicalapplication.\u003cbr\u003e * Effective techniques for solving research problems in the realworld.\u003cbr\u003e * Flexibility of presentation, making it easy to tailor material tospecific needs.\u003cbr\u003e * Help with elementary proofs and algebraic notations for studentsof varying abilities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Post-Modern Algebra is an excellent primary or supplementary textfor graduate-level algebra courses.
