Here are some sample chapters (Chapters 2-5) from the Abstract Algebra book by Charles Pinter. However, due to the copy rights, I am unable to put more chapters. The ordering information is available from the instructor.
1. Chapter
2 (Operations)
2. Chapter
3 (Definition of Groups)
3. Chapter
4 (Elementary Properties of Groups)
4. Chapter
5 (Subgroups)
COPIES OF TRANSPARENCIES
1. Group
Definition
2. Examples
and Non-Examples of Groups
3. Power
Set of a Given Set
4. The
Principle of Mathematical Induction (Basic Version)
5. How
to use Mathematical Induction to do two problems in Group Theory (related
to commuting elements)
6. Two
related problems on subgroups
7. Given
that H and K are two subgroups of G. Prove that the intersecton of
H and K is a subgroup, and also to prove that HK is a subgroup provided
that G is abelian
8. The
center Z(G) of given group G
9. The
centralizer of an element in a group G
10. A
certain subgroup of the direct produt group G X H
11. G
is any abelian group, and H is any subgoup of G. Let K be the elements
of G whose squares are in H. Then prove that K is a subgoup of G
12. The
homomorphic image of any subgroup is also a subgroup (C3, page 143)
13. The
center of any group is a normal subgroup of that group (D3, page 143)
14. The
intersection of any two normal subgroups is also a normal subgroup ( A
special case of D6, page 143)
SPECIAL NOTE:At
this point, I
have done most of your homework problems, i.e. E1, pg 99 (in class), E3,
pg 99 (in class), G1, pg 100 (in class), B3, pg 142 (in class), C2,
pg 143 (in class), C3, pg 143 (home page), D2, pg 143 (in class), D3, pg
143 (home page), D6, pg 143 (home page). This is a total of 9 problems,
and consists of most of the assigned problems on the Chapters 9 and 14.
Please study very hard for the test and I will be available on Monday to
answer some more. Some of the key words that you can study, but NOT
LIMITED TO, are, injection, surjection, bijection, permutation, Symmetric
Group, Group of Symmetries, group homomorphism, monomorphism, epimorphism,
isomorphism, automorphism, endomorphism, kernel of a homomorphism, normal
subgroup, center of a subgroup, etc. The test will cover the material
taught through last Tuesday (April 4), and Thursday (April 7) I gave a
good review. GOOD LUCK TO EACH ONE OF YOU ON THE TEST!
