Prior to the nineteenth century, algebra meant the study of the
solution of polynomial equations. By the twentieth century it came
to encompass the study of abstract, axiomatic systems such as
groups, rings, and fields. This presentation provides an account of
the intellectual lineage behind many of the basic concepts,
results, and theories of abstract algebra. The development of
abstract algebra was propelled by the need for new tools to address
certain classical problems that appeared unsolvable by classical
means. A major theme of the approach in this book is to show how
abstract algebra has arisen in attempts to solve some of these
classical problems, providing a context from which the reader may
gain a deeper appreciation of the mathematics involved. Mathematics
instructors, algebraists, and historians of science will find the
work a valuable reference. The book may also serve as a
supplemental text for courses in abstract algebra or the history of
mathematics.
