I was wondering if anyone knew any links on the Internet that help to explain abstract algebra and maybe works through some problems as well. Thank you in advance

Abstract algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of algebraic structures such as groups, rings, and fields. It focuses on the abstract properties and patterns that exist in these structures rather than specific numbers or equations.
Abstract algebra and linear algebra are closely related as linear algebra can be seen as a subfield of abstract algebra. Linear algebra deals with the study of vector spaces and linear transformations, which can also be studied using abstract algebraic structures such as modules and algebras.
Abstract algebra has numerous applications in various fields such as cryptography, coding theory, computer science, and physics. It is also used in the study of symmetry and patterns in nature and has applications in game theory and economics.
Abstract algebra can be challenging to learn as it requires a solid understanding of mathematical concepts such as proofs, logic, and set theory. However, with practice and a strong foundation in algebra and calculus, it can be an exciting and rewarding field of study.
There are many excellent resources available for learning abstract algebra, including textbooks, online courses, and video lectures. Some popular textbooks include "Abstract Algebra" by David Dummit and Richard Foote, and "Algebra" by Michael Artin. Online resources such as Khan Academy and MIT OpenCourseWare also offer free introductory courses in abstract algebra.
