Reviews
"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."
