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.
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.

Linear Algebra by Jim Hefferon

Elementary Linear Algebra by Keith Matthews

Linear Algebra, Infinite dimensions and Maple by James Herod

Elementary Number Theory by William Stein

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.

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.

Sets, Relations, Functions by Ivo Duentsch and Günther Gedigo
Group Theory by Pedrag Civitanovic

Linear & Multilinear Algebra by C C Wang & R M Bowen

Categories and Groupoids by P. J. Higgins

Lie Algebras by Prof. Sternberg

Intro to Abstract Algebra by Paul Garrett

The text covers basic algebra of polynomials, induction and the well-ordering principle, sets, counting principles, integers, unique factorization into primes, prime numbers, Sun Ze’s theorem, hood algorithm for exponentiation, Fermat’s little theorem, Euler’s theorem, public-key ciphers, pseudoprimes and primality tests, vectors and matrices, motions in two and three dimensions, permutations and symmetric groups, rings and fields, etc.

Algebraic Topology by Allen Hatcher
A Topology Primer by Klaus Wirthmüller

Infinite-dimensional Lie Algebras by Iain Gordon

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!

## How to effectively read and learn from a book?

Learning is a continued process. Process of continuous studying, remembering, applying and repeating the same on and again. From an infant to old, everyone has to learn in order to live in the world. The choice and methods of learning may be different but the only thing that matters at last is what we have contributed to society. Learning is…

## “Why I opted Aakash Institute for my son?”

I am one of those parents who believe in giving complete freedom to their children when it comes to making a career choice. My daughter who is five years elder to my son wanted to pursue fashion designing. Coming from a family where a majority of the children are either pursuing Engineering or Medicine it was hard for me to…

## A Yes No Puzzle

This is not just math, but a very good test for linguistic reasoning. If you are serious about this test and think that you’ve a sharp [at least average] brain then read the statement (only) below –summarize it –find the conclusion and then answer that whether summary of the statement is Yes or No. [And if you’re not serious about…

## Dedekind’s Theory of Real Numbers

Intro Let $\mathbf{Q}$ be the set of rational numbers. It is well known that $\mathbf{Q}$ is an ordered field and also the set $\mathbf{Q}$ is equipped with a relation called “less than” which is an order relation. Between two rational numbers there exists an infinite number of elements of $\mathbf{Q}$. Thus, the system of rational numbers seems…

## 4 Key Ingredients for better learning

Recently, the World Bank Group published the World Development Report (WDR) 2018 entitled as “Learning to Realize Education’s Promise” the first-ever edition entirely focused on education. The report warns of a learning crisis in global education and the severity of this in the deprived areas. Shockingly, there are still around 260 million children who aren’t even enrolled in primary or secondary…

## The Mystery of the Missing Money – One Rupee

Puzzle Two women were selling marbles in the market place — one at three for a Rupee and other at two for a Rupee. One day both of then were obliged to return home when each had thirty marbles unsold. They put together the two lots of marbles and handing them over to a friend asked her to sell then…
