A Concrete Approach to Abstract Algebra: From the Integers to the Insolvability of the Quintic

Examines familiar objects like integers, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers, complex conjugation and polynomials. This title shows how most of the concepts within an abstract algebra course are actually tools used to solve difficult, but well-known problems. It builds on relatively familiar material (Integers and polynomials).
