The Art and Elegance of Beadweaving

The Art and Elegance of Beadweaving

A leader in the field shares her infectious enthusiasm for the art of off-loom beadweaving, leading you through all the basics and then on to more challenging techniques and projects. Admire the beautiful color photos and detailed diagrams and use them to learn every stitch needed to make beaded jewelry, clothing, lampshades, belts, and pillows. Begin with the beads themselves, perhaps decorating purchased varieties to personalize them. Weave with chevron chain; crochet; herringbone and peyote stitches; and spiral rope. The dramatic and unique projects include a Graduated Triangle Drop Necklace, Putting Together Earrings, Three-Bead Spiral Bracelet, Twisted ribbon Ndebele necklace, Gemstone Rope, Napkin Rings, and many more. Plus – the secret to developing your own creative variations on each theme.

Lectures on Algebra, Volume 1

Lectures on Algebra, Volume 1

This book is a timely survey of much of the algebra developed during the last several centuries including its applications to algebraic geometry and its potential use in geometric modeling. The present volume makes an ideal textbook for an abstract algebra course, while the forthcoming sequel. Lectures on Algebra II, will serve as a textbook for a linear algebra course. The author’s fondness for algebraic geometry shows up in both volumes, and his recent preoccupation with the applications of group theory to the calculation of Galois groups is evident in the second volume which contains more local rings and more algebraic geometry. Both books are based on the author’s lectures at Purdue University over the last few years.

Noncommutative Noetherian rings

Noncommutative Noetherian rings

Provides a comprehensive account of the major developments in this important branch of ring theory which have taken place over the past 30 years. Much of the material which comprises this volume has not appeared anywhere in book form before, and the authors have improved and simplified many of the accounts available in journals. The first few chapters form a basic course” which introduces the reader to the subject. Subsequent chapters are each relatively self-contained, so that readers interested in a particular subject can easily consult the sections they want. Specific topics covered include rings arising from matrices, differential operators, and Lie algebras. Contains extensive references.
