Was inspired to write this after seeing the @complexring blog on an introduction to group theory: https://steemit.com/mathematics/@complexring/cryptography-101-an-interactive-class-an-introduction-to-group-theory--week-1

*Abstract Algebra* and *Cryptography* were two of my favorite upper level math classes in undergrad, but I truly believe that *Fundamentals of Abstract Mathematics* was far more important to the general populace and is must learn material for anyone wishing to think more logically. Mathematics is like learning a new language, you have to build up your vocabulary before you can start making sentences. This is the first building block towards learning those fun, higher level mathematics classes.
