Project Description
Taking the interested reader out on a grand tour of strange mathematical creatures, these pages intend to give a basic introduction and short tour of Algebraic Structures -- with examples of them, explanations (sometimes) of why they're called the names they are called, and some neat tricks they can be taught.

Help Needed
The project currently needs help. Among other areas, the project craves need with:
1I've started to notice that the texts that I find readable and enjoyable are not always the same that all people can actually understand anything from...2The guidelines state that we're supposed to give exercises... All that I can think of is -- sadly enough -- either 'trivial' or 'unsolved' .-(
