Imagine winding the hour hand of a clock back from 3 o’clock to noon. Mathematicians have long known how to describe this rotation as a simple multiplication: A number representing the initial ...

She transcended the boundaries of traditional thinking in mathematics and changed the face of abstract algebra forever: the mathematician Emmy Noether (1882-1935) is considered one of the most ...

Several fields of mathematics have developed in total isolation, using their own 'undecipherable' coded languages. Mathematicians now present 'big algebras,' a two-way mathematical 'dictionary' ...

DEVLIN: What we think of as algebra - and it goes back into the ancient Babylonians and the Greeks - but it was really in the Muslim empire in the Ninth and 10th centuries where it really developed.

Group theory - basic properties, permutation groups, finite Abelian groups, cosets, normal subgroups, homomorphism theorems, representation. Ring theory - integral domains and fields, ideals, ...

THE publication of Messrs. Grace and Young's treatise on algebra will direct attention to the importance and difficulty of the theory of the concomitants of ternary and quaternary quantics in ...
