Synopsis

Learn to apply abstract algebra to practical real-world problems with TOPICS IN APPLIED ABSTRACT ALGEBRA! With coverage of interesting applications such as designing block designs to conduct statistical experiments for unbiased study of samples and designing secret-key cryptosystems and public-key cryptosystems for secure transmission of sensitive or secret data, this mathematics text makes the study of abstract algebra more exciting and meaningful. The opening chapter provides a brief refresher on the basic algebraic systems so that you are fully prepared to learn.
