The down-to-earth presentation is accessible to a readership with no prior knowledge of abstract algebra. Students are led to algebraic concepts and questions in a natural way through their everyday experiences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplications include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentification numbers and modular arithmetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(linear) error-correcting codes, including cyclic codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eruler and compass constructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecryptography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esymmetry of patterns in the real plane \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbstract Algebra: Structure and Application\u003c\/i\u003e is suitable as a text for a first course on abstract algebra whose main purpose is to generate interest in the subject or as a supplementary text for more advanced courses. The material paves the way to subsequent courses that further develop the theory of abstract algebra and will appeal to students of mathematics, mathematics education, computer science, and engineering interested in applications of algebraic concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David R.
