Reviews for Post-modern Algebra
I found this an interesting book to read, and feel that anyone whoworks though it and works all the exercises, will obtain anexcellent grounding in algebraic concepts, praticularly those whichhave practical applications.(Zentralblatt Math, Volume 946, No 21,2000) "...an interesting book anyone who works the exercises will obtainan excellent grounding algebraic concepts..."
