I&amp;#x27;d love to read an accessible &amp;#x27;intermediate&amp;#x27; introduction to abstract algebra.&lt;p&gt;Something I&amp;#x27;ve inferred -- and would love to be corrected on -- is that in the US there&amp;#x27;s a relatively well-defined course implied by the words &amp;quot;calculus&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;algebra&amp;quot;. I can guess what they are, but I&amp;#x27;m not certain, and it seems to change!</text></comment>
