: The text is organized into chapters that build from basic properties to advanced topics like Galois Theory and Hilbert's Tenth Problem . Concepts are introduced through "Explorations" and "Exercises" rather than just definitions.
If you need hundreds of solved examples or visual graphs on every page, this will frustrate you. Barbeau is sparse. He assumes you have paper and pencil ready.
