Book Description:
|
This book offers an extremely original and highly informative view on algebra and its place in modern mathematics and science. It shows how the origins of each algebraic concept can be related to attempts to model phenomena in physics or in other branches of mathematics, from the fields, commutative rings, and groups studied in every university math course through Lie groups and algebras to cohomology and category theory.
