Wow thanks for the feedback and recommendation. I was not expecting a reply from a math professor but am really happy you took the time.
Dudley’s book looks great, I love this kind of reading.
I have completed the entire engineering math curriculum in my school days, but have not taken abstract algebra. What resource do you recommend for learning that subject?
- impendia 3y agoFor group theory, I love Nathan Carter's Visual Group Theory -- very example and picture based. Rather than treating groups abstractly from the beginning, it treats them as "groups of actions" which in my opinion is the best way to view the subject. For a more traditional, formal approach, Saracino's "Abstract Algebra: A First Course" is my favorite among this genre. I have also heard good things about Pinter's "A Book of Abstract Algebra", and it is available quite cheaply. I have not read it though. Good luck!
