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.

Abstract Algebra : Theory and Applications by Tom Judson

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 first course in 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.

Abstract Algebra by Robert Ash

Abstract Algebra: The Basic Graduate Year, A Course in Algebraic Number Theory, and, A Course in Commutative Algebra are three e-books by Robert Ash and are available here on his website.

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.

• Linear algebra c-1 – Linear equations, matrices and determinants
• Linear algebra c-2 – Geometrical Vectors, Vector Spaces and Linear Maps
• Linear algebra c-3 – The Eigenvalue Problem and Euclideam* Vector Space

Group theory 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.
