A few years ago, I led a study group through A Book of Abstract Algebra by Charles C Pinter. It culminated in Galois Theory and was one of the best books I've ever used in a math study group.

- sifar 2y agoI second this book, really accessible. It taught me Abstract Algebra when I was learning it by myself.
- bosquefrio 2y agoI have fond memories of reading this book in college. I enjoyed it immensely. I also remember reading the section at the back of the book about Galois. There was also an entertaining section about the history of solving the roots of polynomial equations and in particular solving equations of arbitrary order.
