I'm organizing a group reading of Artin's Algebra textbook. I graduated recently and am bored as fuck waiting for grad school to start, so I figured we could do something productive on this board (and I can get a little review for quals).
People with little to no background are welcome to join in. That said, Artin will be a tough read at first if you're not comfortable with math; however, we will help you get through it. It's great if you've at least seen some linear algebra before.
We won't read the whole book, because there are parts that I would deem less important or interesting and it's long, but we will at least get the basics of groups and hopefully rings. Artin has excellent exercises, and we will need to work out a system for picking out ones to do. Be sure to get the second edition, as I know there is considerable difference (maybe just in the later chapters, but even still).
Apparently Slack is a good website for group chats, so I'm setting one up. Just leave your email to be invited.
