I was trying to get into abstract algebra but I was put off by strange names like "ring". Does the ring structure have anything to do with the geometric figure or is it just supposed to confuse people so that only the most hardcore mathematicians will be able to learn it?
Then there's crazy stuff like "magma", what the fuck.
Do I need to buy a book perhaps?
