It combines standard materials and necessary algebraic manipulations with general concepts that clarify meaning and importance.This conceptual approach to algebra starts with a description of algebraic structures by means of axioms chosen to suit the examples, for instance, axioms for groups, rings, fields, lattices, and vector spaces. This axiomatic approach ‒ emphasized by Hilbert and developed in Germany by Noether, Artin, Van der Waerden, et al., in the 1920s ‒ was popularized for the graduate level in the 1940s and 1950s to some degree by the authors' publication of A S
