Elements of Algebra: Geometry, Numbers, Equations - Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics 1st ed. 1994. Corr. 3rd printing 2001 edition
John Stillwell
Algebra is abstract mathematics - let us make no bones about it - yet it is also applied mathematics in its best and purest form. Algebra emerged from the struggle to solve concrete, physical problems in geometry, and succeeded after 2000 years of failure by other forms of mathematics.
