Greetings, We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.0 of a suite of packages called AbstractAlgebra. These packages enable one to work with groups, rings, fields and morphisms between these structures. Although designed for pedagogical purposes, the packages may be useful for other purposes as well. These packages can now be freely downloaded from http://www.central.edu/eaam.html. In addition, we would like to announce a forthcoming book, also entitled Exploring Abstract Algebra with Mathematica, that uses these packages as the foundation for a series of 28 laboratory notebooks intended to be used in conjunction with any abstract algebra text. This will be available for spring semester, being published by Springer-Verlag, with a CD containing all the packages, labs, and a variety of palettes. Estimated publication date: January 1999 We are building a list of users. If you wish to be added to this mailing list, just let us know. We encourage you to visit our home page at http://www.central.edu/eaam.html. Feel free to contact us with any follow-up questions or comments.
