Features: Abstract Algebra is a crucial foundational course for mathematics majors. It plays a vital role in cultivating students' abstract thinking abilities, logical reasoning skills, and their understanding of subsequent courses. It is also a mandatory subject for the postgraduate entrance examination of mathematics departments. Abstract Algebra primarily includes two main parts: polynomials and linear algebra. Linear algebra is a foundational course for students in engineering and economics disciplines, constituting a significant proportion in the mathematics section of the unified postgraduate entrance examination and being one of the essential subjects. The characteristics of this course are its relatively abstract content, numerous concepts and theorems, close interconnections, and mutual permeation. To help candidates deepen their understanding of the course material, master problem-solving methods and techniques, and improve their exam performance, we have compiled this book based on our long-term teaching experience in Abstract Algebra and the teaching materials used in postgraduate entrance examination tutoring classes.
