My favourite abstract algebra textbook is Fraleigh's A First Course in Abstract Algebra. Unlike the article here, which just dumps you a bunch of definitions, the book introduces each structure with proper motivation. It's not a CS approach though. https://www.amazon.com/First-Course-Abstract-Algebra-7th/dp/0201763907 https://www.amazon.com/First-Course-Abstract-Algebra-7th/dp/... (the 1-star reviews apply to the Kindle version, not the contents. Just get the paperback and you'll be fine) If you want a CS approach I suggest learning basic Haskell then tackling the fantastic Typeclassopedia. The downside is you'll be missing on structures/theorems that are super useful in math but not that useful in programming. https://wiki.haskell.org/Typeclassopedia https://wiki.haskell.org/Typeclassopedia
