Basic Algebra and Advanced Algebra systematically develop concepts and
tools in algebra that are vital to every mathematician, whether pure or
applied, aspiring or established. Advanced Algebra includes chapters on
modern algebra which treat various topics in commutative and
noncommutative algebra and provide introductions to the theory of
associative algebras, homological algebras, algebraic number theory, and
algebraic geometry. Many examples and hundreds of problems are included,
along with hints or complete solutions for most of the problems.
Together the two books give the reader a global view of algebra and its
role in mathematics as a whole.
