MIT course number for abstract algebra

[Benzoate]

Anybody know the name of the MIT course number for Abstract Algebra . Is it even listed as a course on the MIT opencourseware website?

18.701,18.702,

algebra I, algebra II,

the course apparently used the text Algebra by michael artin however and the lecture notes on the site do not seem to form a good substitute for that text. i recommend buying the book. it is one of the books that is worth the price, especially if you get a good price on a used copy.

they don't seem to have a intro to abstract algebra course.

that is their intro to abstract algebra. michael artin's book was written for the sophomore algebra course. one of my ex students took it there, and michael is a friend of mine, and i taught out of the book at UGA. at MIT that is the beginning course even if it looks like a grad course elsewhere.
