Books by William Paulsen

This textbook is for a first undergraduate course in abstract algebra. It differs from the first edition in that it offers optional technology and less focus on interactivity. It has a more traditional approach where additional topics to the primary syllabus are placed after primary topics are covered, creating a more common table of contents. Where technology was the primary motivation of the first edition, this edition is transformed by historical notes and better explanations of why topics are covered.
