Intended as a precursor to Algebra I, this course introduces math’s basic concepts, as well as the fundamentals that underlie some of its more complicated areas. Let Professor Siegel instruct your student with his knack for explaining both the how and why of key mathematical ideas and techniques, including whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, integers, exponents, square roots, and measurements.
Topics in Commutative Ring Theory is a textbook for advanced undergraduate students as well as graduate students and mathematicians seeking an accessible introduction to this fascinating area of abstract algebra. Commutative ring theory arose more than a century ago to address questions in geometry and number theory. A commutative ring is a set-such as the integers, complex numbers, or polynomials with real coefficients--with two operations, addition and multiplication.
