An undergraduate introduction to abstract algebra from MIT OpenCourseWare, covering groups, homomorphisms, and vector spaces as structures that underpin much of higher mathematics.

Commenter says working through the core concepts like homomorphisms, groups, and vector spaces gave a fundamental base for other math and changed how they view mathematics.

    The mostly I was impressed of university’s course of “Abstract algebra” (books I’ve read was in Russian, but I believe you could take any recommended literature from MIT courses). Understanding such things as “homomorphism”, “groups”, “vector linear space” will give a fundamental base for all other math disciplines and you will start to view math in more different side than it’s studied in school.
