Continued from the back cover: "The emphasis is always on the interaction between these topics, and each topic is constantly illustrated by using it to describe and discuss the others. Many of the ideas are developed gradually throughout the book. For example, the definition of a group is given in Chapter 1 so that it can be used in a discussion of the arithmetic of real and complex numbers; however, many of the properties of groups are given later, and at a time when the importance of the concept has become clear. The text is divided into short sections, with exercises at the end of each."
