A good book for a great class
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I used this text for a one semester course on Group Theory in the spring of 2007. It's a great text for reference, but time is required to really grasp the concepts. I wouldn't recommend it as a book to teach yourself with, but with a good professor on your side it's a valuable asset. Another interesting (I'm not sure if I would consider it positive or negative) thing about this book is that problems are not merely examples of material covered in the text, but important theorems are also assigned for the students to prove on their own.
Excellent

This book had some great examples. The examples help me to understand abstract concepts. The proofs were very well constructed.
A wonderful text.

Concise and wonderfully coherent, this book isn't filled with "fluff" such as dumb examples and spoonfed advice. Clearly targeted for a mathematically inclined class of undergraduate modern algebra students, you will find the immense amount of knowledge and the price of this book to be absolutely pleasing.
