Paolo Aluffi is Professor of Mathematics at Florida State University. Aluffi earned a Ph.D. from Brown University with a dissertation on the enumerative geometry of plane cubic curves, under the supervision of William Fulton. His research interests are in algebraic geometry, particularly intersection theory and its application to the theory of singularities and connections with theoretical physics. He has authored about 70 research publications and given lectures on his work in 15 countries. Beside Notes from the Underground, he has published a graduate-level textbook in algebra (Algebra: Chapter 0, AMS) and a mathematics book for the general public, in Italian (Fare matematica, Aracne Editrice).

Paperback. Condition: New. From rings to modules to groups to fields, this undergraduate introduction to abstract algebra follows an unconventional path. The text emphasizes a modern perspective on the subject, with gentle mentions of the unifying categorical principles underlying the various constructions and the role of universal properties. A key feature is the treatment of modules, including a proof of the classification theorem for finitely generated modules over Euclidean domains. Noetherian modules and some of the language of exact complexes are introduced. In addition, standard topics - such as the Chinese Remainder Theorem, the Gauss Lemma, the Sylow Theorems, simplicity of alternating groups, standard results on field extensions, and the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory - are all treated in detail. Students will appreciate the text's conversational style, 400+ exercises, an appendix with complete solutions to around 150 of the main text problems, and an appendix with general background on basic logic and naïve set theory.
