Rings with Inquiry
Michael Janssen & Melissa Lindsey · Dordt University & University of Wisconsin-Madison
One of the concepts fundamental to the historical development of algebra is the notion of factorization; closely related questions that have driven the development of algebra over the centuries are: when does a polynomial equation have solutions in a particular number system, and is there a systematic way to find them? The goal of this book is to explore the idea of factorization from an abstract perspective.
