This book is designed to introduce students to the basic ideas and operations of rings, modules, and categories as patiently and as thoroughly as time and space permit, and then bring them to the frontiers of research as rapidly and as comprehendingly as their abilities permit. Therefore, the reader is forewarned not to be deceived by the elementary beginning, including a foreword on set theory and a first chapter on rudimentary group theory and category theory.
