Elementary Abstract Algebra
W Edwin Clark · University of South Florida
This book is intended for a one semester introduction to abstract algebra. We assume that students have some familiarity with basic set theory linear algebra and calculus. But very little of this nature will be needed To a great extent the course is self contained except for the requirement of a certain amount of mathematical maturity. And hopefully the student's level of mathematical maturity will increase as the course progresses.

Complex Variables with Applications
Jeremy Orloff · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Complex analysis is a basic tool in many mathematical theories. By itself and through some of these theories it also has a great many practical applications. There are a small number of far-reaching theorems that we’ll explore in the first part of the class. Along the way, we’ll touch on some mathematical and engineering applications of these theorems. The last third of the class will be devoted to a deeper look at applications.
