520 2 _aThe book preserved the emphasis on providing a large number of examples and on helping students learn how to write proofs. The presentation of the sections is given at a higher level. Unusual features, for a book is still relatively short, are the inclusion of full proofs of both directions of Gauss' theorem on constructible regular polygons and Galois' theorem on solvability by radicals, a Galois-theoretic proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, and a proof of the Primitive Element Theorem. The changes include the simplification of some points in the addition of some new exercise, and the updating of some historical material. All the topics are given in step by step method with simple language to understand the concept easily. This book is intended for use in a junior-senior level course in abstract algebra.
