5.0 out of 5 stars
Well written and concise. Makes an excellent reference,
By Todd Ebert (Long Beach California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Algebra, Volume 110 (Pure and Applied Mathematics) (Hardcover)
This is one of my favorite beginning graduate texts. Although it follows a very terse definition-example-theorem-proof style, the proofs and examples seem very enlightening. Each Chapter comeswith numerous exercises interleaved with the material, as well as exercises at the end of the chapter. Groups, rings, fields, and modules are covered in depth.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best intro to algebra texts,
By "gh-bigfoot" (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Algebra, Volume 110 (Pure and Applied Mathematics) (Hardcover)
My first taste of algebra came from Lang's book (big mistake). I then read Gallian's undergrad. book and tried Lang again, it was still very difficult. I finally found Grove. This is a great book. Very easy to read and understand. Although it doesn't cover everything in Lang, it covers everything that commonly comes up in a first year graduate class. The book's only drawback is it's difficulty to find. If you're looking for a good intro. to algebra text (and if you can find it) buy it!
