Description
Book SynopsisHow to Think about Abstract Algebra provides an engaging and readable introduction to its subject, which encompasses group theory and ring theory.
Trade ReviewI'd very strongly recommend it to undergraduates studying maths, Sixth formers about to study maths, and anyone who did a maths degree a while ago and wants to revisit groups, rings and fields. I also recommend that any first year pure maths lecturers reading this should add this book to their course's reading list. * Chalkdust *
