Errata for 'Algebra: Chapter 0', first (2009) printing
This is the errata for the first (2009) printing of Chapter 0. If
you are looking for the errata for the second (2016) printing, click
here.
Highlighted in red are the needed
changes, embedded in text matching the published version and
identified by page and position on the page (e.g., `p.10, top'). A
bold reference indicates an error in the published version
which may be more confusing, such as a missing hypothesis in an
exercise. (My personal favorite is the missing abelian on p.49, Exercise 1.8.)
This list is bound to grow forever. (412 items, and counting.)
The contribution of many readers is hereby gratefully acknowledged.
