Advanced Modern Algebra – Part 1

The organization of the text is clear and the pace is leisurely…recently I taught the second part of a first-year graduate course in algebra, and in the process dipped into this book at various points. I enjoyed the presentation, and the commentary on constructions and results aimed to place them in context, and I found the numerous examples and exercises helpful. I will be using this book when teaching such courses again, if not always as the main text, certainly as a useful supplement. –Srikanth B. Iyengar, Mathematical Reviews

Rotman is a wonderful expositor, and the two courses in this book strike me as well thought out and well presented. –Fernando Q. Gouvêa, MAA
