Summary: Full of errors
Comment: ~I usually gave books I bought not bad reviews. But this one, I hate to put it in this way, is full of wrong concept, unclear definition, misleading explanation, incomplete proof, ... A mathmactics book like this is a real shame!
The reason I did not give it one star was I like Schaum book's style: definition, then example, then exercise, then answer at the end (this one doesn't have).
In sum, you can't use this book for any purpose, except as one reviewer pointed out, the errors really~~ make you think about the concept. But before you can do that, you should already know some basic abstract algebra and have a logic mind.~

Summary: Not impressed
Comment: I was not impressed with this book. The author appears to make quite a few errors, both in the definitions and in the examples, enough so that I could not be sure what was intended. I cannot recommend this as a tutorial in abstract algebra. However, the confusion did force me to think about the subject.

Summary: invaluable asset to the Mathematician/Philosopher
Comment: The subject of "modern abstract algebra" is daunting! I was intimidated to launch into a study of the subject, and was referred to this Schaum's Outline by a professor, who advised me that it was the best introduction for me to consult. He was right! It is so clearly written and so "poetic" in its treatment of modern algebra, that it presents mathematics as a beautiful language of the pure forms and symmetries and logic in elegant simplicity! But it appears to me to be somewhat radical in its approach to the many different topics; suggesting in a brazen way, a synthetical cohesion say between groups and modules,and rings. At any rate, it is probably too adventurous for the general market - even for the few readers who would understand, let alone appreciate, the daring philosophical assertions the author makes - it will probably enjoy only a brief run....maybe to be celebrated later (as often great things are) as "visionary"! I'm glad I at least had the great fortune of seeing Mathematics from such a lofty height, because of this book!
