Taken from the preface. This edition, in common with previous editions, is intended as a text for a first course in abstract algebra. The goal has continued to be that of making the exposition as simple and clear as possible, but sufficiently precise and thorough to furnish an honest introduction to the methods and results of abstract algebra. In the present undergraduate curriculum, the first course in abstract algebra often serves several purposes. The student is expected to learn a collection of facts, to learn some methods and ideas, and, in addition, to learn to read and write correct mathematical proofs. All of these requirements have been carefully considered in the preparation of the text.
