    Reviews & endorsements

    "This book merits a close look because of its pedagogical strengths. One might say this book really is about 'How to think about mathematics.' And that is a great virtue...The book is sprinkled with historical and other motivations...a very useful text on abstract algebra." MAA Online

    Compositio Mathematica

    : Journal

    Compositio Mathematica is a prestigious, well-established journal publishing first-class research papers that traditionally focus on the mainstream of pure mathematics. Compositio Mathematica has a broad scope which includes the fields of algebra, number theory, topology, algebraic and differential geometry and (geometric) analysis. Papers on other topics are welcome if they are of broad interest. All contributions are required to meet high standards of quality and originality. The Journal has an international editorial board reflected in the journal content. Online access is free for all papers published 5 years ago or more.

    The Review of Symbolic Logic is designed to cultivate research on theborders of logic, philosophy, and the sciences, and to supportsubstantive interactions between these disciplines. The journalwelcomes submissions in any of the following areas, broadly construed: - The general study of logical systems and their semantics,including non-classical logics and algebraic logic; - Philosophical logic and formal epistemology, including interactions with decision theory and game theory; - The history, philosophy, and methodology of logic and mathematics, including the history of philosophy of logic and mathematics; - Applications of logic to the sciences, such as computer science, cognitive science, and linguistics; and logical results addressing foundational issues in the sciences. The Review welcomes submissions in all these areas. (For informationon how to submit papers, see Guidelines below.) The Review beganpublication in June 2008.
