Student Solutions Manual for Gallian's Contemporary Abstract Algebra

<p>Whereas many partial solutions and sketches for the odd-numbered exercises appear in the book the <i>Student Solutions Manual</i> written by the author has comprehensive solutions for all odd-numbered exercises and large number of even-numbered exercises. This Manual also offers many alternative solutions to those appearing in the text. These will provide the student with a better understanding of the material.</p><p>This is the only available student solutions manual prepared by the author of <i>Contemporary Abstract Algebra Tenth Edition </i>and is designed to supplement that text.</p><p><b>Table of Contents</b></p><p><strong>Integers and Equivalence Relations</strong><br>0.
