Lately there have been a ridiculous amount of off-topic threads put in this subforum, so I want to take the time to remind everyone that this is a very specific subforum meant for advanced algebra only. Basic algebra questions should be placed in the pre-university subforum. If your algebra question isn't part of an assignment or topic from at least a 2nd or 3rd year university course, chances are it shouldn't go here. Also, this is not the generic place to put any advanced question. If you have a question about analysis, please put it there. That's why we have an analysis subforum! If it's about topology, put it there! Again, that's why we have one.

Cliffnotes: Only put advanced algebra questions in this subforum. Those who can't follow this simple guideline will be warned, then infracted, so please don't do it.

Best,
Jameson

Unfortunately, the people who post basic algebra problems have not taken enough math to know what "Linear and Abstract Algebra" means. They see only the word "Algebra"!
