| Contemporary Abstract Algebra by Houghton Mifflin Company Great Introduction to Abstract Algebra |
| Although this book may not be as rigorous as Hungerford, I still like this book. Actually, I prefer it over Hungerford. There are still proofs involved in the exercises. I don't understand why some reviews are bad for this book. I highly recommend it's use in an undergraduate Abstract Algebra class. |
| Contemporary Abstract Algebra by Houghton Mifflin Company fun math |
| After high school algebra and geometry, most of the math we learn doesn't apply much to the every day world. So, when a college math book takes the time to show examples of real world applications, I appreciate it. It helps to ground the material. This is not the rigorous, concise, law-theorem-corollary-lemma-and-repeat kind of book one gets used to, but it was fun to read. I'd recommend reading this along with a traditional style algebra textbook. |
| Contemporary Abstract Algebra by Houghton Mifflin Company Simply the Best |
| The best intro ever, I have read many texts but this is a the most beautiful and the most fun! Trust me, buy it! |
| Contemporary Abstract Algebra by Houghton Mifflin Company Great Aid |
| This book works great in conjunction with the book Contemporary Abstract Algebra. I'm an undergrad taking Group Theory and completely lost! But with this book, I use the answers to better understand what the question is asking. I think that's how the questions should be made in general: Give the students the answer and ask them how to get to it. Students would better understand what the question asks and the material in general. Anyway, I would recommend this book for any student using the book as a text. |
| Contemporary Abstract Algebra by Houghton Mifflin Company Depends on what you want... |
| If you are looking for a rigorous step in abstract algebra this is probably not the book you want. If you are taking a fairly elementary one semester undergrad course and will never see this subject again, it is great. The proofs are weak (compare to Hungerford - the intro NOT the grad text - or Dummit and Foote - which, admittedly is more advanced, but not that much). This subject (like topology and real analysis) tends to depend on where you are and what you want. |
