Abstract Algebra OnLine by Prof. Beachy

This site contains many of the definitions and theorems from the area of mathematics generally called abstract algebra. It is intended for undergraduate students taking an abstract algebra class at the junior/senior level, as well as for students taking their first graduate algebra course. It is based on the books Abstract Algebra, by John A. Beachy and William D. Blair, and Abstract Algebra II, by John A. Beachy.
Understanding Algebra by James Brennan
This text is suitable for high-school Algebra I, as a refresher for college students who need help preparing for college-level mathematics, or for anyone who wants to learn introductory algebra.
A printable version can be downloaded from here.  | Mirror
Abstract Algebra: Theory and Applications is an open-source textbook written by Tom Judson that is designed to teach the principles and theory of abstract algebra to college juniors and seniors in a rigorous manner. Its strengths include a wide range of exercises, both computational and theoretical, plus many nontrivial applications.

A foundational textbook on abstract algebra with emphasis on linear algebra.
A First Course in Linear Algebra is an introductory textbook designed for university sophomores and juniors. Typically such a student will have taken calculus, but this is not a prerequisite. The book begins with systems of linear equations, then covers matrix algebra, before taking up finite-dimensional vector spaces in full generality. The final chapter covers matrix representations of linear transformations, through diagonalization, change of basis and Jordan canonical form. Along the way, determinants and eigenvalues get fair time. There is a comprehensive online edition and PDF versions are available to download for printing or on-screen viewing.

A Course in Universal Algebra by Stanley Burris & H. P. Sankappanvar

Linear Algebra by Leif Mejlbro

Leif has published many of his books, sixty-six to be precise, freely on Bookboon.com . You can see what he offers freely at http://bookboon.com/en/search?q=author%3A%22Leif%20Mejlbro%22 . In his Linear Algebra book-series he offers great details and excellent write up. He has aimed this series to be a practical guide for students in Physics and the technical sciences. For that reason the emphasis has been laid on worked examples, while the mathematical theory is only briefly sketched without proofs.  There are total three books on Linear Algebra, all hosted at Bookboon.com all of which can be downloaded freely.

Four other books on Linear Algebra by Kenneth Kuttler are also considerable.

Group theory for Maths, Physics and Chemistry by Arjeh Cohen, Rosane Ushirobira, Jan Draisma

Symmetry plays an important role in chemistry and physics, both at the macroscopic and the microscopic level. Group theory is an abstract setting capturing the symmetry in a very efficient manner, which helps to make computations more efficient. We focus on abstract group theory, deal with representations of groups by means of permutations and by means of matrices, and deal with some applications in chemistry and physics.

  2. Amazing blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring
    writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a
    little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with
    a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?

    There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
    Any ideas? Bless you!

Why You Need To Take A Level Courses?

  Have you ever wondered why you need to take A level courses? This question has been asked plenty of times. A level courses offer several benefits to students over those that only have O-level education. Understanding these benefits is the only way to persuade more people to further their education when they may be so reluctant to do so.…

What you need to write better chemistry notes (and what not)?

Chemistry is one strange subject. It begins with a simple substance and goes above complex polymers – and, down to subatomic particles.

Mathematical Logic – The basic introduction

What is Logic? If mathematics is regarded as a language, then logic is its grammar. In other words, logical precision has the same importance in mathematics as grammatical accuracy in a language. As linguistic grammar has sentences, statements— logic has them too. After we discuss about Sentence & Statements, we will proceed to further logical theories . Sentences & Statements…

Numbers – The Basic Introduction

If mathematics was a language, logic was the grammar, numbers should have been the alphabet. There are many types of numbers we use in mathematics, but at a broader aspect we may categorize them in two categories: 1. Countable Numbers 2. Uncountable Numbers The numbers which can be counted in nature are called Countable Numbers and the numbers which can…
