This traditional treatment of abstract algebra is designed for the particular needs of the mathematics teacher. Readers must have access to a Computer Algebra System (C. A. S.) such as Maple, or at minimum a calculator such as the TI 89 with C. A. S. capabilities. Includes “To the Teacher” sections that Draw connections from the number theory or abstract algebra under consideration to secondary mathematics. Provides historical context with “From the Past” sections in each chapter. Features “Worksheets” that outline the framework of a topic in most chapters. A useful reference for mathematics teachers who need to brush up on their abstract algebra skills.

3.0 out of 5 stars Innovative approach but many errors, December 23, 2007

I liked the layout and how information was presented. However there were many typos and errors in the book that some times made it difficult to determine if the book or I was in error. Not a good situation. I do think the concept of associating the material to what teachers are teaching in High School is an excellent idea and wish I would see that in all my graduate level math books. If it weren't for many errors due to insufficient proof reading I would have given this book a higher rating.

The book was shipped promptly. I attended only one class without having the book with me. This was the required book for a class I am taking so I did not really have an alternative. It seems like a very good text.

Today a significant fraction of the students taking this class are students pursuing a license to teach math at the secondary level. It is nice that they have a textbook focused on their needs.
