Zusammenfassung
Glimpses of Algebra and Geometry is intended for a "Bridge Course" that facilitates the transition between undergraduate and graduate studies. This new edition includes innumerable improvements throughout the text, including an in-depth treatment of root formulas, a detailed and complete classification of finite Mobius groups a la Klein, and a quick, direct, and modern approach to Felix Klein's "Normalformsatz."
