Synopsis
CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACT ALGEBRA, NINTH EDITION is primarily intended for an abstract algebra course whose main purpose is to enable students to do computations and write proofs. Gallians text stresses the importance of obtaining a solid introduction to the traditional topics of abstract algebra, while at the same time presenting it as a contemporary and very much an active subject which is currently being used by working physicists, chemists, and computer scientists., CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACT ALGEBRA, NINTH EDITION is primarily intended for an abstract algebra course whose main purpose is to enable students to do computations and write proofs.

    Book arrived with extensive writing (solutions to the problems) for up to 50 pages (maybe more). Listing stated 'good condition' with 'minimal highlights/writing.' This is a significant misrepresentation of the item's condition. I'm very disappointed as the kids who use the book are trying to solve the problems. Reached out to the seller (rmax2137) 2x over the past month with no responses.
