<p>The current edition is for the 2017-18 academic year, with only minor modifications to the content from the previous year's edition. It also verifies and updates substantial material about Sage to Version 8.0, available in two electronic forms (see <a href="sage-aata.html">Sage and AATA</a>). The 2009 PDF version is very close to the original text, as first published by PWS Publishing Company in 1994. Since then, the <a href="https://github.com/twjudson/aata/blob/master/local/AATA-copyright-info.pdf">copyright has transferred back to the author</a>, making this open source version possible. (A full copy of the copyright transfer is distributed with the source code in the <tt>local</tt> subdirectory).</p>
<p>The current edition is for the 2018-19 academic year, with only minor modifications to the content from the previous year's edition.

<p> A <a href="purchase.html">print-on-demand version</a> is the most affordable way to get a physical copy of the entire text. However, a PDF version optimized for print (two-sided, no color, etc.) is made available here for your convenience.</p>

<p>The first half of the book presents group theory, through the Sylow theorems, with enough material for a semester-long course. The second-half is suitable for a second semester and presents rings, integral domains, Boolean algebras, vector spaces, and fields, concluding with Galois Theory.</p>

<p>This textbook has more freedom than most (but see <a href="http://linear.ups.edu/opentexts.html">some exceptions</a>). First, there is no cost to acquire this text, and you are under no obligation whatsoever to compensate or donate to the author or publisher. So in this most basic sense, it is a free textbook. Therefore you can also make as many copies as you like, ensuring that the book will never go out-of-print. You may modify copies of the book for your own use - for example, you may wish to change to a prefered notation for certain objects or add a few new sections. There is a copyright on the book, and subsequently it is licensed with a <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#FDL" target=_blank>GNU Free Documentation License</a> (GFDL). It is this combination that allows <span class="stongtype">the author to give you</span> greater freedoms in how you use the text, thus liberating it from some of the antiquated notions of copyright that apply to books in physical form. The main caveat is that if you make modifications and then distribute a modified version, you are required to again apply the GFDL license to the result so that others may benefit from your modifications.</p>

<p>This text is free to download, but if you are doing more than just browsing, then purchasing a print copy is less expensive than printing it on a laser printer, less expensive than a single copy (unbound) at a copy shop, and very close to prices charged by copy shops when ordering multiple copies at a discount. Before ordering, you might want to examine an <a href="download.html">evaluation copy</a>.</p>
<p>This text is free to download, but if you are doing more than just browsing, then purchasing a paperback print copy is much less expensive than printing it on a laser printer, significantly less expensive than a single copy (unbound) at a copy shop, and even less than prices charged by copy shops when ordering multiple copies at a discount.
