  • A Book of Abstract Algebra, by Pinter. I did almost every exercise in it while preparing for uni. I didn’t know that mathematical prose could be beautiful until I’d read it. it’s pleasant, friendly, and feels personally involved with its topic, without being overenthusiastic or chatty. even today I love to show people the intro to one of final chapters. the author launches into a genuinely stirring speech, in which he tells you the great work is almost complete and that not an ounce of your care and struggle has been wasted
