From rings to modules to groups to fields, this undergraduate
introduction to abstract algebra follows an unconventional path.
The text emphasizes a modern perspective on the subject, with
gentle mentions of the unifying categorical principles underlying
the various constructions and the role of universal properties. A
key feature is the treatment of modules, including a proof of the
classification theorem for finitely generated modules over
Euclidean domains. Noetherian modules and some of the language of
exact complexes are introduced. In addition, standard topics - such
as the Chinese Remainder Theorem, the Gauss Lemma, the Sylow
Theorems, simplicity of alternating groups, standard results on
field extensions, and the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory -
are all treated in detail. Students will appreciate the text's
conversational style, 400+ exercises, an appendix with complete
solutions to around 150 of the main text problems, and an appendix
with general background on basic logic and naive set theory.
