Review of Algebra 1
Editorial review
From the reviews: "... This is one of the few mathematical
books, the reviewer has read from cover to cover ...The main
merit is that nearly on every page you will find some unexpected
insights... " Zentralblatt für Mathematik "...
There are few proofs in full, but there is an exhilarating combination
of sureness of foot and lightness of touch in the exposition...
which transports the reader effortlessly across the whole spectrum
of algebra...Shafarevich's book - which reads as comfortably
as an extended essay - breathes life into the skeleton and will
be of interest to many classes of readers; certainly beginning
postgraduate students would gain a most valuable perspective
from it but... both the adventurous undergraduate and the established
professional mathematician will find a lot to enjoy..."

An off-hand account of algebra by one of the best authorities
of the subject. Recommended as a "serious" pass-time.

The author explains not just the definitions but also the 'philosophy'
of algebra with highly non- trivial examples from geometry,analysis
& topology not to mention algebra itself. Examples motivate
the concepts and show their usefulness. There is little number
of formal proofs, but theorems are usually supported by natural
'explanations' which may be even more adequate. Frequently a
single example in this book can replace a substantial theory
of the corresponding subject. For example, about axioms of projective
geometry. A reader with no knowledge of modern algebra can try
reading it ,but it would be more interesting if familiar with
subjects of undergraduate mathe matics. Then an undergraduate
reader will get some ideas how modern math uses sophiscated
tools from algebra to understand other subjects. Another merit
of this book is that it can be smoothly followed by the author's
famous 2-volume textbook on algebraic geometry.
Review of Prealgebra/With Student's Solutions Manual
Editorial review
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fifth
International Conference on Algebraic and Logic Programming,
ALP '96, held in Aachen, Germany, in September 1996 in conjunction
with PLILP and SAS. The volume presents 21 revised full papers
selected from 54 submissions; also included is an invited contribution
by Claude Kirchner and Ilies Alouini entitled "Toward the
Concurrent Implementation of Computational Systems". The
volume is divided into topical sections on logic programming,
term rewriting, integration of paradigms, abstract interpretation,
Lambda-calculus and rewriting, and types.
Review of Introductory Algebra Answer Book
Editorial review
This is a textbook for a course (or self-instruction) in cryptography
with emphasis on algebraic methods. The first half of the book
is a self-contained informal introduction to areas of algebra,
number theory, and computer science that are used in cryptography.
Most of the material in the second half - "hidden monomial"
systems, combinatorial-algebraic systems, and hyperelliptic
systems - has not previously appeared in monograph form. The
Appendix by Menezes, Wu, and Zuccherato gives an elementary
treatment of hyperelliptic curves. It is intended for graduate
students, advanced undergraduates, and scientists working in
various fields of data security.

It's a very good book about cryptography and all the "stuff"
about it. Neal Koblick is one of the invertor on ECC, so he
knows about he talks.
Review of Petri Net Algebra
Editorial review
This book presents a step-by-step development of a rigorous
framework for the specification and verification of concurrent
systems. Petri Net Algebra takes its inspiration and methods
from Process Algebra and Petri Nets, two prominent branches
of concurrency theory. Added synergistic benefit is derived
from combining their respective advantages. Petri nets are treated
as composable objects, and as such they are embedded in a general
process algebra. On the other hand, a generic process algebra
is given an automatic Petri net semantics so that net-based
verification techniques, based on structural invariants and
causal partial orders, can be applied to the process algebra.
The book contains full proofs, carefully chosen examples and
several possible directions for further research. A unique aspect
is that the development of the Petri net algebra is handled
so as to allow for further application-oriented extensions and
modifications.
Review of Algebraic Melody
Editorial review
Poetry. ALGEBRAIC MELODY is the new book of poems, beautifully
printed by Zasterle Press, from Benjamin Friedlander. His poems
have previously appeared in Avec, Intent, Raddle Moon, Tyuonyi,
and Writing, and he is co-editor of SELECTED PROSE OF CHARLES
OLSON.
Review of Pre-Algebra, 1992
Editorial review
The 25 survey and research papers highlight the authors' own
ideas in a form accessible to the whole community of mathematicians
and computer scientists working on algebra and logic. Among
the topics are field and ring theory, groups, ordered algebraic
structures and their relationships to model theory, infinite
permutation groups, abelian groups, modules and their relatives
and representations, symmetry questions, and automorphism groups
of orders. Aspects of model theory considered include quantifier
elimination in skew fields, Hilberts' 17th problem, and Boolean
algebras. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
Review of Elementary Algebra
Editorial review
A text for graduate and undergraduate students with background
in algebra and topology. Early chapters introduce the theory
of abelian groups, totally projective -groups, and Hill's version
of Ulm's theorem. It is shown how this classification theorem
is generalized to larger classes of abelian groups such as the
balanced projective groups and Warfield groups. Later chapters
examine certain classes of compact abelian groups using Pontrjagin
duality. Duals of completely decomposable groups and Butler
groups are studied. Includes exercises and research problems.
