Reviews

I'd very strongly recommend it to undergraduates studying maths, Sixth formers about to study maths, and anyone who did a maths degree a while ago and wants to revisit groups, rings and fields. I also recommend that any first year pure maths lecturers reading this should add this book to their course's reading list. * Chalkdust *
