      abstract = {This textbook offers an invitation to modern algebra  through number systems of increasing complexity, beginning  with the natural numbers and culminating with Hamilton's  quaternions. Along the way, the authors carefully develop  the necessary concepts and methods from abstract algebra:  monoids, groups, rings, fields, and skew fields. Each  chapter ends with an appendix discussing related topics  from algebra and number theory, including recent  developments reflecting the relevance of the material to  current research. The present volume is intended for  undergraduate courses in abstract algebra or elementary  number theory. The inclusion of exercises with solutions  also makes it suitable for self-study and accessible to  anyone with an interest in modern algebra and number  theory.--},
