Abstract
In this first chapter, we will introduce the algebraic structures that are the subject of this book (groups, rings, etc.), along with some accompanying fundamental notions. Elementary properties that follow easily from the definitions will be considered, and simple, basic examples will be given to help the reader understand and memorize the concepts. We will not go further than that. Our first “date” with algebraic structures will thus be rather formal and superficial, just to see what we will be dealing with.
