Algebra Interactive! is an HTML-based course for undergraduate students in all fields of science, e.g. mathematics, computer science, physics and (electrical) engineering. The novel features of Algebra Interactive are the interactive examples and tools for computing in the various structures. Many of these tools and examples use the computer package GAP, which comes with Algebra Interactive, as a back engine. Moreover, abstract notations are enlivened by Java applets, which go beyond the classical examples given in traditional textbooks. The course contains numerous exercises. Apart from the classical type of exercise (with hints and solutions), the product also presents interactive multiple-choice questions on each page and at the end of each chapter. A comprehensive accompanying printed book summarizes the contents of Algebra Interactive.

From 1-4 April 1986 a Symposium on Algebraic Groups was held at the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands, in celebration of the 350th birthday of the University and the 60th of T.A. Springer. Recognized leaders in the field of algebraic groups and related areas gave lectures which covered wide and central areas of mathematics. Though the fourteen papers in this volume are mostly original research contributions, some survey articles are included. Centering on the Symposium subject, such diverse topics are covered as Discrete Subgroups of Lie Groups, Invariant Theory, D-modules, Lie Algebras, Special Functions, Group Actions on Varieties.

This self-contained introduction treats thin geometries and thick buildings from a diagrammatic perspective, covers polar geometries whose projective planes are Desarguesian and offers a basic reference for study of diagram geometry. Includes many examples.
