Review title: teach yourself algebra
Product review: This book has received much undue criticism from other reviewers. Yes, the book is too thick (should be two volumes) and a bit old. But consider this:I've self-taught myself most of this book in the past year, while attending school full-time as a materials science major (a whole field known to shy away from mathematics).This book is unbelievably affordable and covers most of the main topics of modern algebra (good enough for those of us who just want to learn basics).The book is entirely self-contained, which helps a lot if you don't have the most extensive mathematics background.If your discipline isn't math but you're tired of "learning," ie. skirting around mathematical topics, in your classes, check out this book.
