Thread: Linear, Abstract, And Universal Algebra

My mother told me to make my birthday list. So what are good introductory books to linear abstract and universal algebra. What must I know before I tackle these subjects? I hope plato responds, he gave me good book last time

For Linear Algebra, I'd say you can't go wrong with a Schaum's Outline on "Beginning Linear Algebra". Plenty of worked problems and questions to solve. It will cost you about £6 from Amazon.
