Contemporary Abstract Algebra by Joseph Gallian

CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACT ALGEBRA, TENTH EDITION is primarily intended for an abstract algebra course whose main purpose is to enable students to do computations and write proofs.

"It has now been 35 years since Gallian's classic textbook Contemporary Abstract Algebra was first publishedThe book is deservedly popular with instructors of abstract algebra courses. It is written at an appropriate level for junior and senior undergraduates, has lucid coverage of all of the standard topics and several nonstandard ones (Frieze Groups and Crystallographic Groups, Coding Theory, Greek Geometric Construction Problems, etc), is example-driven, and contains thousands of exercises at various levels of difficulty. Moreover, every chapter begins with an interesting quote or two (by as diverse a group of people as Einstein, Miguel de Cervantes, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bob Dylan, etc) and most conclude with a mini- biography of a mathematician whose work relates to the chapter's content. This is an interesting book that is a pleasure to read.

According to the Preface, changes made for the tenth edition include:

1. Approximately 200 new exercises
2. Many new examples
3. New quotes
4. A freshening of the discussion portions"
