The thing is, the basics of abstract algebra are easy to grasp, and you don't need to spend a lifetime studying; it takes a couple hours to get started with these simple (but powerful) concepts.
- incepted 11y agoI think you don't realize it's a lot harder than that. Easy to grasp for whom? A first grader? Sixth grader? Twelfth grader? College undergrad? Any specialty or only CS? Or grad level required? You've forgotten how long it took you to get comfortable with abstract algebra, it's a lot more complex to grasp than you think.
- bgar 11y agoWhy would someone in elementary or middle school need to learn that though? I think anyone in high school could easily learn a bit of abstract algebra.
