Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-22 00:00:00 Darrell Fann A very good intro book for abstract algebra. It's short and sweet, but according to people who know more about the subject than I do, it has everything you should get in a first course. The style is conversational with lots of examples, but is not overly wordy. The theorems stand out visually from the page enough to find them, and a good amount of details are omitted as exercises. The problems are a good mix of difficulty. Comparing it to Lang I see now that they are a bit on the easy side, but still time-consuming and non-trivial, especially the later ones in the set. Almost all are proof-based.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-05-29 00:00:00 Paul Nani This was the first book I read about group theory many years ago. It is a basic book on Group, Ring and Field Theories. But I have to say I've never seen any other book explaining the abstract concepts this beautifully. After you read this book, you kind of wish that all the books in mathematics were written like this :]
