Book that covers abstract and Linear Algebra

Question

I am trying to buy new books for algebra.

I was wondering,

Is there a book, which covers both linear algebra as well as abstract algebra? Can somebody please let me know of one?

Answer 1

Peter Cameron's Introduction to Algebra is a really good basic book that covers all that material. It has the advantage of being shorter and cheaper than Dummit and Foote, or Artin.

Answer 2

If you're interested in both linear and abstract algebra, Abstract Linear Algebra by Morton Curtis & Paul Place might be appealing to you. It's rather concise though, and focused on theory rather than applications.
