This collection, carefully curated by the secretary of the W.S. Gilbert Society, brings together the best of these sharp, clever, comical tales - many of which are published here for the first time since their first appearance in ephemeral magazines - enriched with the author's own illustrations.
Taking a traditional approach to the subject of Linear Algebra, with some introduction for students to R^n, the Fourth Edition of Linear Algebra with Applications, newly acquired by McGraw-Hill, continues the tradition of accuracy and excellence associated with W. Keith Nicholson. Unlike the previous edition, however, the Fourth Edition introduces eigenvalues early on, in chapter 3, in a rigorous way using only matrix algebra and determinants. As well, Nicholson has added a new "bridging" chapter from Vector Geometry (Chapter 4) to the notion of an Abstract Vector Space (Chapter 6). In the traditional manner, Nicholson 4/e allows students to "hit the wall" with theory, but, with these new features, also provides students with the tools needed to overcome the wall.
Materiał przedstawiony w książce Gilberta i Nicholsona może być podstawą wykładu z algebry abstrakcyjnej i jej zastosowań. Przedstawiono zagadnienia dotyczące algebry Boole’a, maszyn skończonych, kwadratów łacińskich oraz wiele pojęć algebry abstrakcyjnej o fundamentalnym znaczeniu, jak: grupy, permutacje, grupy symetrii, pierścienie wielomianów, ciała Galois, metody zliczania, konstrukcje geometryczne; omówiono także kody korekcyjne BCH. Zaletą tego podręcznika jest odpowiedni dobór przykładów i ich urozmaicenie, a także ponad 600 zadań (o zróżnicowanym stopniu trudności) do samodzielnego rozwiązania. Książka jest przeznaczona dla studentów informatyki i matematyki studiów uniwersyteckich i politechnicznych.

Keith Nichols first met Robert Lenkiewicz in 1996. They became friends and would meet every few weeks until Robert's death in 2002. It became established between them that Keith would write a book recalling some of their conversations and taking stock of Robert's life, work and achievements. The intention was that the project would be completed while he was alive and working. However, the original book was published in 2005 since few expected such an early death. In this book, Keith assesses Robert's achievements. By inviting critics and fellow artists to express their views on this controversial figure, the author provides us with a new perspective on Lenkiwicz's life and work.
An indispensable companion to the book hailed an "expository masterpiece of the highest didactic value" by Zentralblatt MATH This solutions manual helps readers test and reinforce the understanding of the principles and real-world applications of abstract algebra gained from their reading of the critically acclaimed Introduction to Abstract Algebra. Ideal for students, as well as engineers, computer scientists, and applied mathematicians interested in the subject, it provides a wealth of concrete examples of induction, number theory, integers modulo n, and permutations. Worked examples and real-world problems help ensure a complete understanding of the subject, regardless of a reader's background in mathematics.
