Review title: somewhat clear presentation...inappropriate exercises
Product review: The text itself is reasonably good...i.e. what's presented is clear. However, there are two major problems.1) The book goes for breadth and sacrifices depth. 2) Most of the exercises are inappropriate.For example, one little section studies cyclic groups briefly, but the meat of it is presented in the exercises, such as the exercises requiring you to prove Sylow's theorems. How can a reader who's barely grasped the material from a few scant pages tackle such a complicated assignment.this makes the book quite useless for self study, but it's kind of nice as a reference.
