Cuoco, Albert.
Learning modern algebra : from early attempts to prove Fermat's last theorem / Al Cuoco and Joseph J. Rotman. - [Washington, D.C.] : Mathematical Association of America, 2013. - 1 online resource (xix, 459 pages) : illustrations - MAA textbooks . - MAA textbooks. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Early number theory -- Induction -- Renaissance -- Modular arithmetic -- Abstract algebra -- Arithmetic of polynomials -- Quotients, fields, and classical problems -- Cyclotomic integers -- Epilog -- Appendices.
"Learning Modern Algebra is designed for college students who want to teach mathematics in high school, but it can serve as a text for standard abstract algebra courses as well. ... The presentation is organized historically: the Babylonians introduced Pythagorean triples to teach the Pythagorean theorem; these were classified by Diophantus, and eventually this led Fermat to conjecture his Last Theorem."--Publisher description.
