7.1 INTRODUCTION
Algebraic structures play an important role in computer science due to their applications in computing techniques dealing with problems in operations research, graph theory, and relational databases. They also have found applications in the study of crystals in physics and in biological science in the analysis of human genes. The important structures ...
