- greendestiny 18y agoI love this book. The best thing about dispelling some of my ignorance has been taking some of those absurd half formed, completely misinterpreted ideas I had and replacing them with actual understanding. God knows what I thought Rings, Fields and Groups were before I read this book, but now I at least have a basic understanding. A friend of a friend found a pre-print copy in a torrent.
