De Gruyter Textbook / Abstract Algebra

Derek J.S. Robinson, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA.

"Altogether, this book represents a very gentle, user-friendly and skillful introduction to undergraduate abstract algebra for students in various fields of science. [...] a very experienced teacher has here presented a valuable introductory text on abstract algebra that can universally be used as a source for a one or two semester course on the subject for students in their second or third year of study: Without any doubt, this text is also very suitable for private study and exam preparation of undergraduates." Werner Kleinert in: Zentralblatt MATH 2003/10 *** "Robinson's textbook Abstract Algebra: an introduction with applications is an abstract algebra textbook written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. The book covers all of the standard topics that one expects such a book to cover (groups, rings, modules, tensor products, fields, Galois theory), as well as a number of interesting applications (the Polya enumeration theorem, latin squares, error correcting codes, as well as an interesting and far less standard application to algebraic models of accounting systems)."
