Opis

This edition has been revised and expanded, particularly the material on rings and fields, to provide a comprehensive first course in abstract algebra. The text is written for the student encountering this subject for the first time - the treatment is clear and patient, but also provides enough depth to demonstrate the insights that abstract algebra offers. The book includes many worked examples and each chapter contains a set of graded exercises, with partial solutions.
