Special Algebraic Structures

This self-contained text covers sets and numbers, elements of set theory, real numbers, the theory of groups, group isomorphism and homomorphism, theory of rings, and polynomial rings. 1969 edition.

New notions are introduced in algebra in order to better study the congruences in number theory.

Algebraic structures including vector space, groups, topological spaces and more, all covered in one volume, showing the mutual connections.

In algebra there are four basic structures: groups, rings, fields and modules. In this book the theory of these basic structures is presented and the laws of composition - the basic operations of algebra - are studied. Essentially, no previous knowledge is required, it is only assumed as background that the reader has learned some linear algebra over the real numbers.Dieses Lehrbuch, verfasst von einem anerkannten amerikanischen Mathematiker, ist eine unkonventionelle Einführung in die Algebra. Es gibt vier grundlegende Strukturen in der Algebra: Gruppen, Ringe, Körper und Moduln. Das Buch behandelt die Theorie dieser Strukturen und beschreibt die Verknüpfungsregeln, die grundlegenden Operationen der Algebra. Die Darstellung ist elementar: es werden nur Kenntnisse der Linearen Algebra vorausgesetzt, weitere Fachkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich.

Provides a brief but substantial introduction to ideas, structures and techniques in discrete mathematics and abstract algebra. It addresses many of the common mathematical needs of students in mathematics and computer science at undergraduate level.

We study these new Smarandache algebraic structures, which are defined as structures which have a proper subset which has a weak structure.A Smarandache Weak Structure on a set S means a structure on S that has a proper subset P with a weaker structure.By proper subset of a set S, we mean a subset P of S, different from the empty set, from the original set S, and from the idempotent elements if any.A Smarandache Strong Structure on a set S means a structure on S that has a proper subset P with a stronger structure.A Smarandache Strong-Weak Structure on a set S means a structure on S that has two proper subsets: P with a stronger structure, and Q with a weaker structure.

This book is a comprehensive treatment of the general (algebraic) theory of symmetric domains. Originally published in 1981. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The territory of preserver problems has grown continuously within linear analysis. This book presents a cross-section of the modern theory of preservers on infinite dimensional spaces (operator spaces and function spaces) through the author's corresponding results. Special emphasis is placed on preserver problems concerning some structures of Hilbert space operators which appear in quantum mechanics. In addition, local automorphisms and local isometries of operator algebras and function algebras are discussed in detail.

Introduces and clarifies the basic theories of 12 structural concepts, offering a fundamental theory of groups, rings and other algebraic structures. Identifies essentials and describes interrelationships between particular theories. Selected classical theorems and results relevant to current research are proved rigorously within the theory of each structure. Throughout the text the reader is frequently prompted to perform integrated exercises of verification and to explore examples.
