This book is one of very good textbooks on for, undergraduate courses on abstract algebra at many universities and colleges. It starts with a well written introduction on elementary set theory and calculus of propositions in Mathematical logic although, the author points on giving a definition of a set is not mathematically well known! Topics on basic algebraic structures such as Groups, Rings, and Fields are divided in a consecutive short chapters. Having one chapter on ``Polynomial Rings shows the importance of this topic in abstract algebra. The chapter on ``Fundamental Theorem of finitely generated abelian groups is a necessary complement for well developed course on abstract algebra for undergraduate students. A chapter on Semigroups and Automata is an extra. This book has a great collections of exercises for each chapter and is full of examples for each section of the chapters. There are two appendices at the end of the book; one on the system of numbers and one on linear algebra. Since linear algebra is itself an independent detailed course, such a relatively short appendix is not necessary although, it can be good reference for some examples and concepts of the other chapters. Presenting some applications such as error-correcting codes, polynomial codes, Polya-Burnside enumeration, and so on makes this book more attractive for students.NEWLINENEWLINE Overall this is one of very good books on abstract algebra as an undergraduate textbook.NEWLINENEWLINEAn earlier version of this book appeared in 2011, see the review in Zbl 1235.12001.
