Abstract Algebra tutorial ?

[Pat Browne]

Hi folks,

Can anyone recommend a good tutorial for using sage Permutations and groups? I am a complete newbie and haven't been able to figure out how to do things with symmetry or permutation multiplications. I'm pretty sure that sage would be a great help in understanding these things.

thanks in advance

Check out "Applied Discrete Structures" by Doerr and Levasseur: http://faculty.uml.edu/klevasseur/ads2/

I've taught out of it and it's good for beginners who have some appreciation for SageMath. For example, check out the sage-cells embedded in the explanation of gcds: http://faculty.uml.edu/klevasseur/ads/s-gcds-and-zsubn.html

thanks in advance

Rob Beezer wrote some nice Sage sections for my abstract algebra textbook.  You ca find them at the end of each chapter.
