Badawi A. Abstract Algebra Manual. Problems and Solutions 2001

Textbook in PDF format

This is the most current textbook in teaching the basic concepts of abstract algebra. The author finds that there are many students who just memorize a theorem without having the ability to apply the theorem to a given problem. Therefore, this is a hands-on manual, where many typical algebraic problems are provided for students to be able to apply the theorems and to actually practice the methods they have learned. Each chapter begins with a statement of a major result in Group and Ring Theory, followed by problems and solutions
