Abstract Algebra

Dr. Darmawijoyo, M.Si.

Abstract Algebra is one of the subjects which the students  of IMPoME (International Program on Mathematics Education) learn in the first semester. The course is conducted by Dr. Darmawijoyo, M.Si., an impressing lecturer who shows us the importance of both mathematics and learning approach for a mathematics teacher and lecturer. One of the quotes is, “If you lost math, you lost everything. If you lost approach, you kill everybody”. Hence, Abstract Algebra is one of the important subjects which have to be learned by mathematics teacher and lecturers. One of wonderful books of Abstract Algebra can be downloaded in this following link.

Mathematical Thinking and Writing, A Transition to Abstract Mathematics written by Randall B. Maddox.

In this course, my friend (Ahmad Wachidul Kohar) and I try to make resumes and solve exercises of some sections in the second chapter. They are can be downloaded in this following link:

•  2.1 Proof Involving Sets and 2.2 Indexed Families of Sets
• 2.3 Algebraic and Ordering Properties of R
• 2.4 The Principle of Mathematical Induction
