Isaacs' love for algebra and his more than 25 years of teaching experience in mathematics is evident throughout the book. In order to draw students into the material, Isaacs offers numerous examples and exercises and he seldom teaches a definition unless it leads to some interesting or exciting theorem. A number of specialized topics are included, so professors may design a course that is compatible with their own tastes. Students using this book should have knowledge of the basic ideas of group theory, ring theory, and field theory. They should know elementary linear algebra and matrix theory and they should be comfortable with mathematical proofs (how to read them, invent them, and write them).

"Unlike similar textbooks, this volume steers away from chapter-end problems by including full details of all proofs as problems are presented." ---- SciTech Book News
"This is a book to be warmly welcomed. The presentation throughout is a model of clarity, and the proofs are precise and complete. The careful reader will learn (much) from it, not only mathematics, but also (and more importantly) how to think mathematically." ---- Mathematical Reviews
"Isaacs' Algebra, A Graduate Course is a pedagogically important book, to be highly recommended to fledgling algebraists--and every one else, for that matter." ---- MAA Reviews
