Actions of Groups

Beschreibung

This undergraduate text goes beyond the basics of modern algebra by presenting the fundamental topics of representation theory and Galois theory in a manner guided by the notion of actions of groups. Active learning modules and chapters that extend the first course support the transition to deeper ideas.
