Book excerpt: This text provides a thorough introduction to “modern” or “abstract” algebra at a level suitable for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students. The book addresses the conventional topics: groups, rings, fields, and linear algebra, with symmetry as a unifying theme. This subject matter is central and ubiquitous in modern mathematics and in applications ranging from quantum physics to digital communications. The most important goal of this book is to engage students in the ac- tive practice of mathematics.
