"learned: Everything I ever wanted to know about polynomial equations.
Serge came to speak at my Uni and I asked him to sign it. He leafed through each page carefully studying my underlining and notes. I thought he was going to say something like "Why did you underline this?" or "That wasn't a very perceptive comment in the margin." However, he didn't say anything and looked pretty satisfied with the way I had marked up and dog-eared his book. Finally he signed it."
"I commend the reader who is able to get past the first chapter. While the book certainly contains a lot of information, it is presented in the most concise possible way (which sometimes can be an advantage, but often makes the proofs impossible to comprehend). The homework problems are challenging and time consuming. Most of them involve extending the (more basic) concepts presented in the text to deeper levels of abstraction. Therefore, I would recommend using this book for its exercises while having perhaps another algebra book to actually learn the subject (Hungerford's book is excellent)."
