Discovering Abstract Algebra
Author: John K. Osoinach, Jr.
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 147046442X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
Discovering Abstract Algebra takes an Inquiry-Based Learning approach to the subject, leading students to discover for themselves its main themes and techniques. Concepts are introduced conversationally through extensive examples and student investigation before being formally defined. Students will develop skills in carefully making statements and writing proofs, while they simultaneously build a sense of ownership over the ideas and results. The book has been extensively tested and reinforced at points of common student misunderstanding or confusion, and includes a wealth of exercises at a variety of levels. The contents were deliberately organized to follow the recommendations of the MAA's 2015 Curriculum Guide. The book is ideal for a one- or two-semester course in abstract algebra, and will prepare students well for graduate-level study in algebra.

Discovering Group Theory
Author: Tony Barnard
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1315405768
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Discovering Group Theory: A Transition to Advanced Mathematics presents the usual material that is found in a first course on groups and then does a bit more. The book is intended for students who find the kind of reasoning in abstract mathematics courses unfamiliar and need extra support in this transition to advanced mathematics. The book gives a number of examples of groups and subgroups, including permutation groups, dihedral groups, and groups of integer residue classes. The book goes on to study cosets and finishes with the first isomorphism theorem. Very little is assumed as background knowledge on the part of the reader. Some facility in algebraic manipulation is required, and a working knowledge of some of the properties of integers, such as knowing how to factorize integers into prime factors. The book aims to help students with the transition from concrete to abstract mathematical thinking.

Discovering Wavelets
Author: Edward Aboufadel
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118031156
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
An accessible and practical introduction to wavelets With applications in image processing, audio restoration, seismology, and elsewhere, wavelets have been the subject of growing excitement and interest over the past several years. Unfortunately, most books on wavelets are accessible primarily to research mathematicians. Discovering Wavelets presents basic and advanced concepts of wavelets in a way that is accessible to anyone with only a fundamental knowledge of linear algebra. The basic concepts of wavelet theory are introduced in the context of an explanation of how the FBI uses wavelets to compress fingerprint images. Wavelet theory is further developed in the setting of function spaces. The book then moves on to present more advanced topics such as filters, multiresolution analysis, Daubechies' wavelets, and further applications. The book concludes with a series of projects and problems that introduce advanced topics and offer starting points for research. Sample projects that demonstrate real wavelet applications include image compression, a wavelet-based search engine, processing with Daubechies' wavelets, and more. Among the special features of Discovering Wavelets are: * Real-life, hands-on examples that involve actual wavelet applications * A companion Web site containing Pixel Images software and Maple files to be used with the projects in the book * Challenging problems that reinforce and expand on the ideas being developed * An appendix containing the linear algebra needed to understand wavelets as presented in the book
