Fundamentals of Abstract Algebra

Fundamentals of Abstract Algebra is a primary textbook for a one year first course in Abstract Algebra, but it has much more to offer besides this. The book is full of opportunities for further, deeper reading, including explorations of interesting applications and more advanced topics, such as Galois theory. Replete with exercises and examples, the book is geared towards careful pedagogy and accessibility, and requires only minimal prerequisites. The book includes a primer on some basic mathematical concepts that will be useful for readers to understand, and in this sense the book is self-contained. Features • Self-contained treatments of all topics. • Everything required for a one-year first course in Abstract Algebra, and could also be used as supplementary reading for a second course. • Copious exercises and examples.
