Algebra

by Michael Artin

This is a note for the book Algebra by Michael Artin. The book is available at here.

Important though the general concepts and propositions may be with which the modern and industrious passion for axiomatizing and generalizing has presented us, in algebra perhaps more than anywhere else, nevertheless I am convinced that the special problems in all their complexity constitute the stock and core of mathematics, and that to master their difficulties requires on the whole the harder labor.

--Herman Weyl
