The exposition is admirably clear and lucidly written with only minimal prerequisites from linear algebra... The book ends with an appendix containing exercises and notes on the previous parts of the book. However, brief historical comments and suggestions for further reading are also scattered through the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present textbook is a lively, problem-oriented and carefully written introduction to classical modern algebra. The author leads the reader through interesting subject matter, while assuming only the background provided by a first course in linear algebra. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first volume focuses on field extensions. Galois theory and its applications are treated more thoroughly than in most texts. It also covers basic applications to number theory, ring extensions and algebraic geometry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe main focus of the second volume is on additional structure of fields and related topics. Much material not usually covered in textbooks appears here, including real fields and quadratic forms, diophantine dimensions of a field, the calculus of Witt vectors, the Schur group of a field, and local class field theory. \u003cp\u003eBoth volumes contain numerous exercises and can be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduate students. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom Reviews of the German version: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a charming textbook, introducing the reader to the classical parts of algebra.
