These are notes from first and second-term abstract algebra courses. The first course is an introduction to groups, ring, and field. There is an emphasis on specific examples. The notes for the second course are appearing now (Spring, 2007); I hope to cover group actions and the Sylow theorems, PIDs and UFDs, basic Galois theory, basic module theory, and the structure theorem for finitely generated modules over a PID (with applications to the structure theorem for finitely generated abelian groups and canonical forms for matrices).
The first link in each item is to a Web page; the second is to a PDF (Adobe Acrobat) file. Use the PDF if you want to print it.
