A modern text on abstract algebra tends to become a ten-volume series. This brief volume is not designed to replace such a series, but rather whet the student’s appetite for the series, to help him decide which portions of the series are most suitable for him to take, and to help bridge the possible gap between freshman preparation and the abstract thinking required in higher mathematics. Students enjoy the work—enthusiasm runs high. The more advanced courses now contain a larger percentage of engineers, physicists, and chemists than ever before. Applications from these fields, as well as from psychology and social science, are indicated in this volume, and the student is provided with an opportunity to explore those regions nearest his own interests.
