The expanded and revised new edition of this text offers an elegant and coherent introduction to the material covered in a university-level algebra course. The solving of systems of equations is a central and unifying approach in the work. The textbook presents the interconnections between group theory, ring theory, and algebraic field theory, and reference to practical applications help to further understanding.
