Tóm tắt

 "Learning Modern Algebra is designed for college students who want to teach mathematics in high school, but it can serve as a text for standard abstract algebra courses as well. [...] The presentation is organized historically: the Babylonians introduced Pythagorean triples to teach the Pythagorean theorem
  these were classified by Diophantus, and eventually this led Fermat to conjecture his Last Theorem."--Publisher description.
