A Simplified Communication-Avoiding QR Factorization Solver Using the TBLAS Framework

Although I wrote the first edition of this book more than 25 years ago, my goals for it remain the same. I want students to receive a solid intro- duction to the traditional topics. I want readers to come away with the view that abstract algebra is a contemporary subject—that its concepts and methodologies are being used by working mathematicians, com- puter scientists, physicists, and chemists. I want students to see the connections between abstract algebra and number theory and geom- etry. I want students to be able to do computations and to write proofs. I want students to enjoy reading the book. And I want to convey to the reader my enthusiasm for this beautiful subject.
