Abstract Algebra Courseware

Dr. Paulsen has constucted a series of Mathematica notebooks that teaches abstract algebra. The core of these notebooks are the routines discussed in the publication "Group Presentations Using Mathematica" (Mathematica in Education and Research 1995 Vol 4, No. 4, pp. 21-24). The notebooks go all the way to teaching about Galois theory, and use Mathematica to find the Galois group of any polynomial. The means by which Mathematica can do this is given in the article "Computing Galois Group with Mathematica" (Mathematica in Education and Research 1999 Vol 8, No. 1, pp. 5-11). These notebooks have now been published as part of the textbook, "Abstract Algebra: An Interactive Approach" published by Taylor and Francis (CRC Press). In order to obtain these notebooks, you must now purchase the textbook.
