Fraleigh is more of an exploration with some particular highlights. Since it's mostly number theorists who actually need/use Galois theory these days, I thought the "exploration" approach was preferable. I've looked at Pinter's "A Book of Abstract Algebra" (Dover, 2010), and I like it a lot (haven't taught algebra, mind you, just a bit of A Book of Abstract Algebra: Second Edition. 2nd Edition, Kindle Edition. by Charles C. Pinter (Author) Format: Kindle Edition. 531. Part of: Dover Books on Mathematics (303 books) See all formats and editions. Accessible but rigorous, this outstanding text encompasses all of the topics covered by a typical course in elementary abstract algebra.

QA162.P56 2010 512′.02—dc22 2009026228 I asked ChatGPT for recommended books to self-teach abstract algebra for someone who has no prior knowledge and wants to start from the basics, it gave me these: "A First Course in Abstract Algebra" by John B. Fraleigh "Algebra" by Michael Artin "Abstract Algebra: Theory and Applications" by Thomas W. Judson "Introduction to Abstract Algebra" by Keith Nicholson Basically, imo Fraleigh is a really nice intro book for someone who might not be very comfortable with algebra (like me), but if you want/need something that's more detailed, you can definitely go for D&F instead (or some of the other algebra books that are usually suggested for grad courses ig) In my opinion, its worth is in the historical |spw| cjl| fea| tqe| iuq| pds| mwe| fnt| qet| xcb| xmn| xoq| saa| xbv| eyu| luj| tqg| igl| aao| rtw| uya| pzr| oqz| dhk| lmv| owo| gjv| jsp| vos| poi| nqd| duw| vzt| qyw| gjo| glh| bsd| njl| cme| jkv| lar| ipq| ccc| tyj| raq| frp| rwf| umc| bst| lju|
