註釋Presents the basics of modern algebra at a very elementary level that presumes no background in calculus. The author uses a historical approach showing the growth of algebra from its ancient origins (Indian and Italian) to its current state, presenting the material in a way that allows the student to see how the ideas emerged in the attempt to answer specific questions. Outlines some modern themes, such as the fundamental theorem, Clifford algebras, and quarternions.
