Title: A great introduction for a novice that wants to learn math again
Review: Mathematics has changed so much and is now so widely applied - and this is a great introduction to modern algebra and frankly, modern math. I have been reading this book at a leisurely pace - no hurry here, just a nice diversion for me personally - and couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. Just the right combination of simplicity and rigor, and logical progression of ideas through the book. As a novice, I have needed to go on the web and clarify some things that the author glosses over but only in a couple of instances.I have no idea how this book is for undergraduates or anyone that is pursuing math as a field of study - there are other reviewers that can attest to that better than I can. But for anyone curious about modern mathematics, this is likely an invaluable stepping stone.
