Using the proof of the non-trisectability of an arbitrary angle as a final goal, the author develops in an easy conversational style the basics of rings, fields

''In writing this book, care was taken to use language and examples that gradually wean students from a simpleminded mechanical approach and move them toward ma

Most abstract algebra texts begin with groups, then proceed to rings and fields. While groups are the logically simplest of the structures, the motivation for s
