This classical approach to abstract algebra focuses on applications.The text is geared toward high-level courses at schools with strong mathematics programs.Accessible pedagogy includes historical notes written by Victor Katz, an authority on the history of math.By opening with a study of group theory, this text provides students with an easy transition to axiomatic mathematics.
