The Photo Gallery of Vascular Plants contains over 9,700 photographs illustrating the diagnostic characters of (and variability within) the vascular plant families covered in the textbook Plant Systematics: A Phylogenetic Approach, Fourth Edition. Included in the Photo Gallery are over 5,000species from almost 300 families. Many species are represented by multiple photographs showing different views of the plant, its flowers, its fruits, its vegetative characteristics, and its habit, as well as many images showing floral and fruit dissections. The Photo Gallery also includes anillustrated glossary of plant terminology. System Requirements *An up-to-date Web browser*JavaScript must be enabled
Abstract Algebra and Famous Impossibilities

This textbook develops the abstract algebra necessary to prove the impossibility of four famous mathematical feats: squaring the circle, trisecting the angle, doubling the cube, and solving quintic equations. All the relevant concepts about fields are introduced concretely, with the geometrical questions providing motivation for the algebraic concepts. By focusing on problems that are as easy to approach as they were fiendishly difficult to resolve, the authors provide a uniquely accessible introduction to the power of abstraction. Beginning with a brief account of the history of these fabled problems, the book goes on to present the theory of fields, polynomials, field extensions, and irreducible polynomials. Straightedge and compass constructions establish the standards for constructability, and offer a glimpse into why squaring, doubling, and trisecting appeared so tractable to professional and amateur mathematicians alike. However, the connection between geometry and algebra allows the reader to bypass two millennia of failed geometric attempts, arriving at the elegant algebraic conclusion that such constructions are impossible. From here, focus turns to a challenging problem within algebra itself: finding a general formula for solving a quintic polynomial. The proof of the impossibility of this task is presented using Abel’s original approach. Abstract Algebra and Famous Impossibilities illustrates the enormous power of algebraic abstraction by exploring several notable historical triumphs. This new edition adds the fourth impossibility: solving general quintic equations. Students and instructors alike will appreciate the illuminating examples, conversational commentary, and engaging exercises that accompany each section. A first course in linear algebra is assumed, along with a basic familiarity with integral calculus.
