Features: This book is compiled and written by the author based on the lecture notes from teaching abstract algebra courses for many years to the National Science Base (Mathematics) class at Soochow University. The content of this book, in addition to the traditional groups, rings, and fields, also includes modules. In field theory, the problem of geometric construction is discussed; in module theory, finite-generated torsion modules over principal ideal rings, which have important applications in linear algebra and finite commutative groups, are discussed.
