The text focuses on linear equations, polynomial equations, and quadratic forms. The first several chapters cover foundational topics, including the importance of proofs and properties commonly encountered when studying algebra. The remaining chapters form the mathematical core of the book. These chapters explain the solution of different kinds of algebraic equations, the nature of the solutions, and the interplay between geometry and algebra
Mark V. Lawson is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Heriot-Watt University. Dr. Lawson has published over 60 papers and has given seminars on his research work both at home and abroad. His research interests focus on algebraic semigroup theory and its applications.
