this book is out of date,

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Abstract Algebra (Schaum's Easy Outlines) (Paperback)
I think that most of schaum's series are out of date. In particular, Schaum's "abstract algebra" is not an exception. I bougut this book to prepare my course, Abstract Algebra 1. But this book was full of stuff which is not relevant to the subject. For example, it deals in matix and boolen algebra, which are excluded in most of Alstract Algebra courses in universities. And it doesn't contains stuff about Galois' Theory. Galois' theory can be called the aim to learn Abstract Algebra. I cannot help confessing that to read this book is to waste time. It would confuse you rather than help. You cannout build the outline of Abstract Algebra with this book. I think that it is becase this book was too old-fashioned.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Abstract Algebra (Paperback)
I was not impressed with this book. The author appears to make quite a few errors, both in the definitions and in the examples, enough so that I could not be sure what was intended. I cannot recommend this as a tutorial in abstract algebra. However, the confusion did force me to think about the subject.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Abstract Algebra (Schaum's Easy Outlines) (Paperback)
This book did not help me at all. It covers a tremendous amount of material. So the outlines are very thin. One has to know the material very well to read this book.
I would have liked to see a lot more detail for Groups, Rings, Fields and Modules, with a lot of worked out problems. And none of the Vector space, Lin Algebra, Matrix and Boolean Algebra stuff. In that way it would help undergrad abstract algebra students. The way this book is written, I can't see who the target audience is right now.
