Every pure mathematician has experienced that awkward moment when asked, “So what’s your research good for?” There are standard responses: a proud “Nothing!”; an explanation that mathematical research ...

A 3D-printed decuplet crystal, skeleton, and nerves of a big algebra designed by Daniel Bedats. Printed with the Stratasys J750 3D printer at ISTA’s Miba Machine Shop. Symmetry is not just a question ...

This book is mainly intended for first-year University students who undertake a basic abstract algebra course, as well as instructors. It contains the basic notions of abstract algebra through solved ...

Why is mathematics so complicated? It’s a question many students will ask while grappling with a particularly complex calculus problem — and their teachers will probably echo while setting or marking ...

This course is an introduction to abstract algebra, covering both group theory and ring theory. Specific topics covered include an introduction to group theory, permutations, symmetric and dihedral ...

When students are genuinely curious about new concepts and ideas, they develop their own study skills, says Professor Pekka Pankka. Geometry, Algebra, and Topology are pure mathematics and essential ...

Our mathematics courses introduce students to the disciplines of theoretical and applied mathematics, from theoretical courses in analysis and algebra to applied courses such as Ordinary Differential ...
