Exploring Abstract Algebra with Mathematica is intended as an upper-division laboratory supplement for courses in abstract algebra. It consists of several Mathematica packages that the authors have programmed as a foundation with two collections of labs for group theory and ring theory built on this base. The Mathematica labs allow students to both visualize and explore algebraic ideas while providing an interactivity that enhances the learning process. The accompanying multi-platform CD-ROM contains both Mathematica Version 2.2 and Version 3 notebooks of all the labs along with additional resources.
