Description
This is a new text for the Abstract Algebra course. The author has written this text with a unique, yet historical, approach: solvability by radicals. This approach depends on a fields-first organization. However, professors wishing to commence their course with group theory will find that the Table of Contents is highly flexible, and contains a generous amount of group coverage.

Features

Fields-first approach. Unique approach to subject matters, allows instructor to cover groups, rings and fields in one semester.

Flexible Table of Contents. Allows professors to teach the material in a traditional way, Groups-first.

Proof Technique Appendix. Offers tips and techniques to students to improve their proof writing skills.

Exercise sets. Large quantity of exercises for professors to choose from, with a varying degree of difficulty.

Historical perspective. Interesting, timely biographies of mathematicians.
