The book is also suitable as independent reading for interested students at that level as well as a primary source for a one-semester course that an instructor may supplement to expand to a full year. Author Richard S. Pierce, a Professor of Mathematics at Seattle's University of Washington, places considerable emphasis on applications of the theory and focuses particularly on lattice theory.\u003cbr\u003eAfter a preliminary review of set theory, the treatment presents the basic definitions of the theory of abstract algebras. Each of the next four chapters focuses on a major theme of universal algebra: subdirect decompositions, direct decompositions, free algebras, and varieties of algebras. Problems and a Bibliography supplement the text. \u003cbr\u003eDover (2014) republication of the edition originally published by Holt, Rinehart \u0026amp; Winston, New York, 1968. \u003cbr\u003eSee every Dover book in print at\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ewww.doverpublications.com\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45084526215319,"sku":"9780486789989","price":1058.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780486789989.webp?v=1767636913","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/introduction-to-the-theory-of-abstract-algebras-9780486789989","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
