History
editAlgebra: Chapter 0 was published by the American Mathematical Society's as part of their Graduate Studies in Mathematics series.[4] The book was well-received and an updated second edition was published in 2016.[5]
The book began as a transcript of Aluffi's lectures at Florida State University.[6]
Content
editThe book aims to be a fully self-contained introduction to abstract algebra for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduates. The main distinguishing factor of the book from other algebra texts is its early introduction to categories which remain relevant throughout the book. It also features a greater emphasis on homological algebra.[4]
