New to the Second Edition
Downloadable resources containing an interactive version of the book that is powered by Scientific Notebook (R), a mathematical word processor and easy-to-use computer algebra system
New appendix that reviews prerequisite topics in algebra and number theory
Double the number of exercises
Instead of a general study on finite groups, the book considers finite groups of permutations and develops just enough of the theory of finite fields to facilitate construction of the fields used for error-control codes and the Advanced Encryption Standard. It also deals with integers and polynomials. Explaining the mathematics as needed, this text thoroughly explores how mathematical techniques can be used to solve practical problems.

Reviews / Votes
This book attempts to show the power of algebra in a relatively simple setting.-Mathematical Reviews, 2010
... The book supports learning by doing. In each section we can find many examples which clarify the mathematics introduced in the section and each section is followed by a series of exercises of which approximately half are solved in the end of the book. Additional the book comes with a CD-ROM containing an interactive version of the book powered by the computer algebra system Scientific Notebook. ... the mathematics in the book are developed as needed and the focus of the book lies clearly on learning by examples and exercises. ... the book gives good insight on how algebra can be used in coding and cryptography ... The strength of the book is clearly the number of examples ...

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
