Where Can I Find Free Practice Problems for Abstract Algebra with Solutions?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding free practice problems for Abstract Algebra with solutions. Users recommend resources such as the Linear and Abstract Algebra textbook from the University of Miami, which includes a discussion forum, and the accessible materials from Richard Ash's website, which provides solutions for problems in Chapters 1-5. While the Miami textbook is noted for its conciseness, it lacks sufficient practice problems, leading users to prefer Ash's book for its comprehensive problem sets and solutions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Abstract Algebra concepts
  • Familiarity with Linear Algebra
  • Basic problem-solving skills in mathematics
  • Ability to navigate online educational resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Richard Ash's Abstract Algebra resources for practice problems
  • Investigate additional online forums for math problem discussions
  • Review the University of Miami's Linear and Abstract Algebra textbook
  • Search for other free mathematics textbooks that include solutions
USEFUL FOR

Students and self-learners in mathematics, particularly those studying Abstract Algebra and seeking additional practice problems with solutions.

Hey! I'm really struggling trying to teach myself abstract algebra mostly because I have a terrible shortage of practice problems. I really need some practice questions with solutions. Can anyone provide me a link to some (as many as possible!)? I've looked all over and can't find anything that doesn't cost money. My text has some problems,which helps a lot, but there are no solutions, so I have no idea if I'm getting my problems right or wrong.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Go to URL=http://]http://www.math.miami.edu/~ec/book/ , I got it from Physics Napster in the Physics section. This provides free Linear and Abstract Algebra textbook. It also has a discussion forum.[

I already have that textbook. I tried using it for a while but it's so concise that I can't understand anything. It's would serve better as an outline than a text. And besides, there are very few practice problems in that book. But thanks for trying anyway!
The forum would be very nice, but it appears it is not used much. The last post was July 25. I will stick with the physics forums. I just hate to bombard everyone with a million questions.
 
Have a look at http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash/. Don't be put off by 'graduate', I found it quite accessible, and solutions are provided. I got the link off someone else in the forum, can't remember who. Chapters 1-5 may be of the most interest to you.
 
I agree with Lonewolf. I've had a freshman Algebra course, and many of the things stated there I found in Ash's book. It has great problems that will help you ponder over the material, and it includes solutions.
