Accessible to undergraduates yet its scope and depth also make it ideal for courses at the graduate level.
Over 1500 exercises, many with multiple parts, ranging in scope from routine to fairly sophisticated, and ranging in purpose from basic application of text material to exploration of important theoretical or computational techniques.
The structure of the book permits instructors and students to pursue certain areas from their beginnings to an in-depth treatment, or to survey a wider range of areas, seeing how various themes recur and how different structures are related.
The emphasis throughout has been to motivate the introduction and development of important algebraic concepts using as many examples as possible.
Contains many topics not usually found in introductory texts. Students are able to see how these fit naturally into the main themes of algebra. Examples of these topics include:

Rings of algebraic integers
Semidirect products and the theory of extensions
Criteria for Principal Ideal Domains
Criteria for the solvability of a quintic
Dedekind Domains

Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them.
