From the Publisher

This text is designed to give students insight into the main themes in abstract algebra. Early introduction to recurring notions such as homomorphisms, isomorphisms, actions, and classifications provides a natural flow for the development of basic abstract algebra. Students are immediately exposed to concepts the way an algebraist (or mathematician) envisions and works with them.
