Focusing on advanced mathematical concepts, this book covers the fundamental theory of fields, starting with polynomials over a ring and progressing through the division algorithm, irreducibility, field extensions, and embeddings. It then delves into Galois theory, followed by a dedicated section on the theory of binomials. The final chapter explores families of binomials, culminating in the Kummer theory, making it suitable for graduate courses or independent study in mathematics.

The third edition enhances the text with a new chapter on associative algebras, refined arguments, upgraded proofs, and new theorems, including the spectral mapping theorem. It corrects errors and expands the reference section significantly. Reviewers praise its thoroughness and elegance, making it ideal for graduate study and reference.

Focusing on elementary category theory, this textbook aims to simplify a complex subject, making it more accessible to readers. The author's extensive experience, gained from writing over 30 university-level mathematics books, is utilized to clarify concepts and enhance understanding. This resource is designed for those looking to grasp the fundamentals of category theory without feeling overwhelmed.

Visual Basic .NET is a radically new version of Microsoft Visual Basic, the world's most widely used rapid application development (RAD) package. Whether you are just beginning application development with Visual Basic .NET or are already deep in code, you will appreciate just how easy and valuable the VB.NET Language Pocket Reference is. VB.NET Language Pocket Reference contains a concise description of all language elements by category. These include language elements implemented by the Visual Basic compiler, as well as all procedures and functions implemented in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. Use it anytime you want to look up those pesky details of Visual Basic syntax or usage. With concise detail and no fluff, you'll want to take this book everywhere.

As the title suggests, this book has two separate - though intertwined - goals: a description of the general concepts of object-orientation, and how to do object-oriented programming in Visual Basic. As a result, Visual Basic programmers and students will find this an invaluable introduction to the topic.

This book is intended to introduce coding theory and information theory to undergraduate students of mathematics and computer science. It begins with a review of probablity theory as applied to finite sample spaces and a general introduction to the nature and types of codes. The two subsequent chapters discuss information theory: efficiency of codes, the entropy of information sources, and Shannon's Noiseless Coding Theorem. The remaining three chapters deal with coding theory: communication channels, decoding in the presence of errors, the general theory of linear codes, and such specific codes as Hamming codes, the simplex codes, and many others.

"LEARNING TO PROGRAM THE EXCEL OBJECT MODEL USING VBA"--COVER.

Offers a tutorial teaching Visual BASIC within Microsoft's .NET platform, discussing syntax, keyword operations, arguments, data types, undocumented behaviors, practical applications, and basic programming concepts.

This text provides experienced Access users who are novice programmers with frequently overlooked concepts and techniques necessary to create effective database applications. It focuses on designing effective tables in a multi-table application
