Description
Book SynopsisThe more than 300 illustrations in
Visual Group Theory bring groups, subgroups, homomorphisms, products, and quotients into clear view. Every topic and theorem is accompanied with a visual demonstration of its meaning and import, from the basics of groups and subgroups to advanced structural concepts.
Trade ReviewCarter presents the group theory portion of abstract algebra in a way that allows students to actually see, using a multitude of examples and applications, the basic concepts of group theory … The numerous images (more than 300) are the heart of the text. As this work enables readers to see, experiment with, and understand the significance of groups, they will accumulate examples of groups and their properties that will serve them well in future endeavors in mathematics.

""If you teach abstract algebra, then this book should be a part of the resources you use. While the phrase “visual abstract algebra” may seem to be a contradiction, the diagrams in this book are an existence proof to the contrary. They are clear, colorful and concise, very easy to understand and sure to aid the students that have difficulty in internalizing the abstract nature of the subject matter …""- Charles Ashbacher,
