Computer algebra systems are gaining importance in all areas of science and engineering. This textbook gives a thorough introduction to the algorithmic basis of the mathematical engine in computer algebra systems. It is designed to accompany one- or two-semester courses for advanced undergraduate or graduate students in computer science or mathematics. Its comprehensiveness and...(展开全部)

Garrett Birkhoff（1911—l996），已故世界著名数学家。生前曾任国际数学家大会组织委员会主席、美国数学会副主席、美国工业与应用数学会主席、《大不列颠百科全书》编委，美国科学院院士、哈佛大学教授。1933年开创格论研究，成为数学的一个重要分支。

Discusses calculating with natural numbers, the first extension of the notion of number, special properties of integers, and complex numbers; algebra-related subjects such as real equations with real unknowns and equations in the field of complex quantities. Also explores elements of analysis, with discussions of logarithmic and exponential functions, the goniometric functions,...(展开全部)

This survey of fundamental algebraic structures employs techniques applicable to mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science. Topics include relations between groups and sets, the fundamental theorem of Galois theory, and the results and methods of abstract algebra in terms of number theory, geometry, and noncommutative and homological algebra. Solutions. 2006 editi...(展开全部)

Garrett Birkhoff published more than 200 papers and supervised more than 50 Ph.Ds. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He spent most of his career as a professor of mathematics at Harvard University. During the 1930s, Birkhoff, along with his Harvard colleagues Marshall Stone and Saunders MacLane, substantially adva...(展开全部)

Algebra fulfills a definite need to provide a self-contained, one-volume, graduate-level algebra text that is readable by the average graduate student and flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of instructors and course contents. The guiding philosophical principle throughout the text is that the material should be presented in the maximum usable generality consistent wi...(展开全部)
