Features: This book is revised and supplemented by the author based on years of teaching experience and the original lecture notes. It introduces the fundamental knowledge of algebra: Chapters 1 to 7 present the four basic algebraic structures—groups, rings, modules, and fields—and their properties; Chapter 8 covers Galois theory; and Chapter 9 provides an introduction to multilinear algebra. Each chapter is accompanied by a substantial number of exercises. The entire book can serve as a textbook for a one-semester course. The second edition includes minor textual revisions and adjustments to the exercises, with more challenging problems marked with asterisks and provided with appropriate hints. This book can be used as a textbook for abstract algebra courses in mathematics departments of universities and is also suitable for reference by faculty and students in related fields.
