Set Theoretic Approach to Algebraic Structures in Mathematics
by W. B. Vasantha Kandasamy, Florentin Smarandache - Educational Publisher , 2013
This book brings out how sets in algebraic structures can be used to construct the most generalized algebraic structures, like set linear algebra / vector space, set ideals in groups and rings and semigroups, and topological set vector spaces.
