Introduction to Abstract Algebra, Sixth Edition
Reviewers' Comments:"Revisions have improved the book....I strongly agree with the decision to present rings before groups, and the author does a good job of justifying this choice....This text is much better than any text we have used in the past because it is at the appropriate level for our students."--Burton Fein, Oregon State University"I like the fact that equivalence relations and action of a group on a set are introduced separately. This makes these important ideas easier to grasp....Chapter 6 provides a very nice treatment of the elementary theory of groups. Section 6.9 is very well written and makes and excellent reading assignment."--Ivan Dimitrov, University of California, Los Angeles
