This text is based on notes which have been used in teaching at Texas A&M at Commerce, and at the US Naval Academy, for several semesters. The notes were used to to teach three different courses. One, a first course in modern algebra, emphasizing applications and once-a-week computer labs, to students who have only had a "fundamentals in mathematics" course and a matrix theory course. This course covered some of chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The second course was a course on error-correcting codes. This course covered chapters 2 and 3 in more detail, and chapter 6. The third course was given to a class consisting mostly of computer science graduate students.Added by mathwhiz on 2007-01-04 05:21:04
