Description
Book SynopsisFinally a self-contained, one volume, graduate-level algebra text that is readable by the average graduate student and flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of instructors and course contents. Therefore it stresses clarity rather than brevity and contains an extraordinarily large number of illustrative exercises.
Trade ReviewFrom the book reviews:
“This is a text for a first-year graduate course in abstract algebra. It covers all the standard topics and has more than enough material for a year course.” (Allen Stenger, MAA Reviews, September, 2014)
Thomas W. Hungerford
Algebra
"An excellent text from which to teach the beginning graduate survey course in algebra and I would recommend it to anyone considering a text for such a course."—LINEAR AND MULTILINEAR ALGEBRA
