Abstract Algebra: An Introduction, 3/e (Paperback)

Abstract Algebra: An Introduction is set apart by its thematic development and organization. The chapters are organized around two themes: arithmetic and congruence. Each theme is developed first for the integers, then for polynomials, and finally for rings and groups. This enables students to see where many abstract concepts come from, why they are important, and how they relate to one another. New to this edition is a "groups first" option that enables those who prefer to cover groups before rings to do so easily.

《抽象代數：入門》以其主題的發展和組織方式獨樹一幟。各章節圍繞著兩個主題：算術和同餘進行組織。每個主題首先針對整數進行發展，然後是多項式，最後是環和群。這使學生能夠看到許多抽象概念的來源，為什麼它們重要，以及它們如何相互關聯。本版新增了一個「先群後環」的選項，方便那些希望先學習群再學習環的人。
