Starting with ring theory

187 Views Asked by At

Can anyone suggest a book on rings explaining concepts using visual diagrams, similar to the one visual group theory book by Nathan Carter for groups.The problem with me is that after reading that book I am visualizing everything in terms of Cayley's diagram,cycle graphs etc. and now I'm feeling if I'll use a standard book i'll be missing some great things. I'll be grateful for any help.

Good books depend on choice and can vary from person to person. Here are a few of my favorites:

  1. Contemporary abstract algebra by J A Gallian can be a good book to start with since it has plenty of exercises.

  2. Topics in Algebra by I N Herstein: A classic in its own way. Very well written and amazing exercises.

  3. A book of Abstract Algebra by Charles C pinter: It explains things beautifully and can be a good place to start with.
