To promote the study of Universal Algebra in the new millennium, the text of the out-of-print original Springer-Verlag Graduate Texts in Mathematics edition, 1981, of A Course in Universal Algebra has been corrected and put in forms suitable for the WWW.

This is a text for the basic graduate sequence in abstract algebra, offered by most
universities. We study fundamental algebraic structures, namely groups, rings, fields and
modules, and maps between these structures. The techniques are used in many areas of
mathematics, and there are applications to physics, engineering and computer science as
well.

This tutorial has been used as the literature for the course of Programming Algebra at the School of Computer Science and Information Technology, University of Nottingham. This course introduces the fundamental algebraic structures in the mathematics of program construction with a focus on the algebraic properties of recursion and how these are applied to the generic solution of programming problems.

Augusta Ada Byron's father was the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron and her mother was Anne Isabelle Milbanke. Ada's parents married on 2 January 1815 but separated on 16 January 1816, a month after she was born. On 25 April 1816 Lord Byron went abroad and Ada never saw her father again. Lord Byron never returned to England and died in Greece when Ada was eight years old. Lady Byron was given sole custody of her daughter Ada, who was declared a Ward in Chancery in April 1817, and she tried to do everything possible in bring up her child to ensure that she would not become a poet like her father.

Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) was born Augusta Ada Byron, the only legitimate child of Annabella Milbanke and the poet Lord Byron. Her mother, Lady Byron, had mathematical training (Byron called her his 'Princess of Parallelograms') and insisted that Ada, who was tutored privately, study mathematics too - an unusual education for a woman.

She is today appreciated as the "first programmer" since she was writing programs—that is, manipulating symbols according to rules—for a machine that Babbage had not yet built.

German mathematician who is sometimes called the "prince of mathematics." He was a prodigious child, at the age of three informing his father of an arithmetical error in a complicated payroll calculation and stating the correct answer.
