An admirable attempt, but -- the formatting and the grammar are distracting detractors from the content.

For anyone who is serious about learning abstract algebra but lacking mathematical background (i.e. an analysis course under the belt), consider the book "Abstract Algebra" by Dummit and Foote. It's at the undergraduate level (so it goes through the motions of rigor that research math texts often omit), and well presented. A more advanced, terse and elegant, text would be Hershtein's Topics in Algebra.

If you tell me what's wrong with the formatting and grammar, I'll try my best to fix them for the next time.
