This a good book for a beginner to start getting good at Algebra and its branches?

I already have studied some of the basics from:

So, is Aluffi a good book?

Some people like it, but i think it's overrated. i'd just stick with the traditional track. i'm sure lang's undergraduate book is fine, for graduate level i'd do hungerford or lang and forget aluffi. depends on how much you know already

>> No.8789145

Its used in several universities in my area as a solid abstract algebra text. So I guess it is probably okay.

I heard something about typos in that book.
Is it that bad?

OP here

Lol maybe for low IQ niggers or spics, but algebra is not that hard. Thanks for the response.

your pretty much fine with any algebra book you're just wasting time asking questions on a Vietnamese sweatshop forum. i recommend an algebra textbook so you could practice, practice should be your top priority.

There's lectures on youtube for the Artin bluebook
http://matterhorn.dce.harvard.edu/engage/ui/index.html#/1999/01/82345

It assumes you have taken an entry linear algebra course before like say, Gilbert Strang
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010/

There's a bunch of book recommendations here from a grad student http://www.stumblingrobot.com/best-math-books/advanced-topics/

I've been reading it casually to double down on my linear algebra and group theory knowledge. Really has helped me out as I start studying functional analysis.
>tfw all you do is talk about Hilbert Spaces

Honestly, I rate 8/10. Pretty good but some of the writing is a bit opaque. Glad I own a copy but I will probably read another algebra text soon.
