Volume 2 is an introduction to linear algebra (including linear algebra over rings), Galois theory, representation theory, and the theory of group extensions. The section on linear algebra (chapters 1-5) does not require any background material from \u003ci\u003eAlgebra 1, \u003c\/i\u003e except an understanding of set theory. Linear algebra is the most applicable branch of mathematics, and it is essential for students of science and engineering As such, the text can be used for one-semester courses for these students. The remaining part of the volume discusses Jordan and rational forms, general linear algebra (linear algebra over rings), Galois theory, representation theory (linear algebra over group algebras), and the theory of extension of groups follow linear algebra, and is suitable as a text for the second and third year students specializing in mathematics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRAMJI LAL is an adjunct professor at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI), Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. He started his research career at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, and served the University of Allahabad in different capacities for over 43 years: as a professor, head of the department and the coordinator of the DSA program. He was associated with HRI, where he initiated a postgraduate (PG) program in mathematics and coordinated the Nurture Program of National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) from 1996 to 2000. After his retirement from the University of Allahabad, he was an advisor cum adjunct professor at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Allahabad for over three years. His areas of interest include group theory, algebraic K-theory and representation theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 12, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52704982303027,"sku":"9789811042553","price":120.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/czVkTUhRdTd0M3NqV2QxcnppOUk1Zz09.webp?v=1763369916","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/algebra-2-linear-algebra-galois-theory-representation-theory-group-extensions-and-schur-multiplier-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
