Contemporary Abstract Algebra 9th Edition

I used this textbook for an online class. It is probably one of the best textbooks that I have ever used for learning algebra. There were a wide variety of excellent questions and the examples were explained clearly and thoughtfully for a learner. I highly recommend this book.

I think this book is the source for all other abstract algebra texts. The definition and proof are easy to follow. Not a lot of examples, but they make up for it in the exercises.

The book has all the content. The only thing is that the out Side paste is rip, but it work and it does it's purpose

This book was fairly easy to read. Gallian really enjoys shortening things by saying “clearly ...” which is frustrating when it’s not clear, but other than that I really recommend this book!

Liked and used this textbook for study.

Excellent text. I rarely come across books for upper-level math courses that are this well written. Good pacing, consistent level of difficulty between in-chapter examples and homework problems, and nice inclusion of practical applications. Most importantly, EVERY concept is explained very clearly.

This was one of the most difficult courses I took in my undergraduate math curriculum. I remember not finding the textbook very helpful. You might be better off finding some resources online.

very friendly intro to algebra compared to other brutal texts
