From Math Reviews: "This is a charming textbook, introducing the
reader to the classical parts of algebra. The exposition is
admirably clear and lucidly written with only minimal prerequisites
from linear algebra. The new concepts are, at least in the first
part of the book, defined in the framework of the development of
carefully selected problems. Thus, for instance, the transformation
of the classical geometrical problems on constructions with ruler
and compass in their algebraic setting in the first chapter
introduces the reader spontaneously to such fundamental algebraic
notions as field extension, the degree of an extension, etc... The
book ends with an appendix containing exercises and notes on the
previous parts of the book. However, brief historical comments and
suggestions for further reading are also scattered through the
text."
