Hi, I was just hoping for some suggestions for a good book to learn abstract algebra with. Specifically, I'd like a book with a lot of real-world references, or practical application problems. Consider me a beginner. I've actually already taken abstract (just finished it this past semester) but, unlike calculus, statistics, and physics.. I had a difficult time grasping "how any of this matters" (so to speak ). For me, it all seemed like a jumble of new definitions and concepts without any allusion as to why I should want to know any of it. As a result, I think it became a tad difficult for me to follow and I didn't do as well as I'd have liked.
Any suggestions for a good book(s) that might nurture my somewhat stubborn "tell me why I should care" attitude?
thanks everybody
