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. Together, the two books give the
reader a global view of algebra and its role in mathematics as a whole.
The presentation includes blocks of problems that introduce additional
topics and applications to science and engineering to guide further
study. Many examples and hundreds of problems are included, along with a
separate 90-page section giving hints or complete solutions for most of
the problems.
