Editorial Reviews: Review “This book merits a close look because of its pedagogical strengths. One might say this book really is about ‘How to think about mathematics.’ And that is a great virtue…The book is sprinkled with historical and other motivations…a very useful text on abstract algebra.” MAA Online Book Description A revised and updated version of popular textbook on abstract algebra, including new sections and numerous problems.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The book provides the information in a very clear cut and easy to understand manner. The examples are challenging but not impossible and definitely makes learning the subject matter easier than many other books.

⭐No problems. Book is as expected.

⭐This book was in very good shape and looks almost new. I am glad with my purchase and praise God for letting me get a great deal and a nice book. PTL!

⭐This book is ideal for a first brush with abstract algebra. Ideally it should be read before one tackles linear algebra – however, this is rarely the case. The book is extremely well written, contains many exercises and some solutions, consistently points the reader towards more advanced texts in the appropriate areas, and gives many brief and interesting historical anecdotes.The approach is fairly elementary in many places – for instance, one proves many results for the integers alone, which are in fact true for rings in general. However, this serves the important pedagogical purpose of introducing topics in a context with which we are all familiar – later, when reading more advanced texts, the ideas are easily generalized.The book is a great buy for the price. I highly recommend it.

⭐Good thx.
