Well written and concise. Makes an excellent reference December 10, 2001

This is one of my favorite beginning graduate texts. Although it follows a very terse definition-example-theorem-proof style, the proofs and examples seem very enlightening. Each Chapter comes
with numerous exercises interleaved with the material, as well as
exercises at the end of the chapter. Groups, rings, fields, and modules are covered in depth.
One of the best intro to algebra texts December 30, 2001

My first taste of algebra came from Lang's book (big mistake). I then read Gallian's undergrad. book and tried Lang again, it was still very difficult. I finally found Grove. This is a great book. Very easy to read and understand. Although it doesn't cover everything in Lang, it covers everything that commonly comes up in a first year graduate class. The book's only drawback is it's difficulty to find. If you're looking for a good intro. to algebra text (and if you can find it) buy it!
