| Summary: | This series was originally published in French in the 1970s as Elements de mathematique. It comprises ten works (some subjects occupy more than one volume), five of which are cited in this issue of SciTech (see entries at QA251, QA387, QA611). The series takes up mathematics at the beginning, and gives complete proofs. It is directed to those who have a good knowledge of at least the content of the first year or two of a university math course. The method of exposition is axiomatic and abstract, proceeding from the general to the particular, a choice dictated by the main purpose of the treatise, which is to provide a solid foundation for the whole body of modern math. The first six books are numbered, and, in general, every statement assumes as known only those results which have been discussed in preceding volumes. This volume is composed of three of ten chapters on algebra, covering specifically: algebraic structures; linear algebra; and tensor, exterior, and symmetric algebras.
