Reference request: book on abstract algebra

119 Views Asked by At

I'm having a hard time understanding most of the material covered in chapter 1 of Federer's GMT book (it includes tensor products, graded algebra, exterior algebra); this is mostly because I'm not that familiar with abstract algebra. Does anyone know a good algebra book that would go well together with Federer's book? I've done the usual abstract algebra program at my uni, that is, groups, rings, fields up to Galois theory.
