The instructor may also choose from a collection of additional topics.\nAligning with the trend toward smaller, essential texts in mathematics, the author strives for clarity of exposition. Proof techniques and proofs are presented slowly and clearly.\nThe book employs a versatile approach to the use of algebraic ideas.
