About this book
This text is suitable for classroom or online use or for independent study. Aimed at students in mathematics, computer science, and engineering, the prerequisite includes one or two years of a standard calculus sequence. Ideally the reader will also take a concurrent course in linear algebra or elementary matrix theory. A solutions manual for the 400 exercises in the book is available to instructors who adopt the text for their course.

About the author
Lindsay N. Childs is Professor Emeritus at the University of Albany where he earned recognition as a much-loved mentor of students, and as an expert in Galois field theory. Capping his tenure at Albany, he was named a Collins Fellow for his extraordinary devotion to the University at Albany and the people in it over a sustained period of time. Post University of Albany, Professor Childs has taught a sequence of online courses whose content evolved into this book. Lindsay Childs is author of A Concrete Introduction to Higher Algebra, published in Springer's Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series, as well as a monograph, Taming Wild Extensions: Hopf Algebras and Local Galois Module Theory (American Mathematical Society), and more than 60 research publications in abstract algebra.
