Algebra
This graduate-level text is intended for initial courses in algebra that begin with first principles but proceed at a faster pace than undergraduate-level courses. It employs presentations and proofs that are accessible to students, and it provides numerous concrete examples. Exercises appear throughout the text, clarifying concepts as they arise; additional exercises, varying widely in difficulty, are included at the ends of the chapters. Subjects include groups, rings, fields and Galois theory, modules, and structure of rings and algebras. Further topics encompass infinite Abelian groups, transcendental field extensions, representations and characters of finite groups, Galois groups, and additional areas. Based on many years of classroom experience, this self-contained treatment breathes new life into abstract concepts.
Groups and Characters
An authoritative, full-year course on both group theory and ordinary character theory--essential tools for mathematics and the physical sciences One of the few treatments available combining both group theory and character theory, Groups and Characters is an effective general textbook on these two fundamentally connected subjects. Presuming only a basic knowledge of abstract algebra as in a first-year graduate course, the text opens with a review of background material and then guides readers carefully through several of the most important aspects of groups and characters, concentrating mainly on finite groups. Challenging yet accessible, Groups and Characters features: * An extensive collec...
Classical Groups and Geometric Algebra
A graduate-level text on the classical groups: groups of matrices, or (more often) quotients of matrix groups by small normal subgroups. It pulls together into a single source the basic facts about classical groups defined over fields, together with the required geometrical background information, from first principles. The chief prerequisites are basic linear algebra and abstract algebra, including fundamentals of group theory and some Galois Theory. The author teaches at the U. of Arizona. c. Book News Inc.

Finite Reflection Groups
Chapter 1 introduces some of the terminology and notation used later and indicates prerequisites. Chapter 2 gives a reasonably thorough account of all finite subgroups of the orthogonal groups in two and three dimensions. The presentation is somewhat less formal than in succeeding chapters. For instance, the existence of the icosahedron is accepted as an empirical fact, and no formal proof of existence is included. Throughout most of Chapter 2 we do not distinguish between groups that are "geo metrically indistinguishable," that is, conjugate in the orthogonal group. Very little of the material in Chapter 2 is actually required for the sub sequent chapters, but it serves two important purpos...

Introduction to the $h$-Principle
The latest volume in the AMS's high-profile GSM series. The book presents a very accessible exposition of a powerful, but difficult to explain method of solving Partial Differentiel Equations. Would make an excellent text for courses on modern methods for solvng Partial Differential Equations. Very readable treatise of an important and remarkable technique. Strong bookstore candidate.
