Algebra: Volume I

Description: Algebra: Volume I [Hardcover] Van Der Waerden, B.L. Product Overview ...This beautiful and eloquent text served to transform the graduate teaching of algebra, not only in Germany, but elsewhere in Europe and the United States. It formulated clearly and succinctly the conceptual and structural insights which Noether had expressed so forcefully. This was combined with the elegance and understanding with which Artin had lectured...Its simple but austere style set the pattern for mathematical texts in other subjects, from Banach spaces to topological group theory...It is, in my view, the most influential text in algebra of the twentieth century.- Saunders MacLane, Notices of the AMSHow exciting it must have been to hear Emil Artin and Emmy Noether lecture on algebra in the 1920's, when the axiomatic approach to the subject was amazing and new! Van der Waerden was there, and produced from his notes the classic textbook of the field. To Artin's clarity and Noether's originality he added his extraordinary gift for synthesis. At one time every would-be algebraist had to study this text. Even today, all who work in Algebra owe a tremendous debt to it; they learned from it by second or third hand, if not directly. It is still a first-rate (some would say, the best) source for the great range of material it contains.- David Eisenbud, Mathematical Sciences Research InstituteVan der Waerden's book Moderne Algebra, first published in 1930, set the standard for the unified approach to algebraic structures in the twentieth century. It is a classic, still worth reading today.- Robin Hartshorne, University of California, Berkeley Read more Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Springer Verlag (January 1, 1990) Language ‏ : ‎ English Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 265 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0387974245 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 48 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.3 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 6.5 x 0.75 x 9.75 inches Best Sellers Rank: #5,017,188 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #9,549 in Probability & Statistics (Books) #9,549 in Probability & Statistics (Books) Customer Reviews: 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 16 ratings We have been selling used books since 2012, and we've learned that the most important thing is doing good business.
