Critical View
Thorough, but many of the exercises are busy-work, and hence are not documented on.

Source work progress
* : $\S 30$: Transpose of Row Matrix is Column Matrix


 * Another pass as follows:


 * : Chapter $1$: Algebraic Structures: $\S 2$: Compositions: Example $2.3$


 * ... stopping off here for a while to revisit the pages on modulo arithmetic and complete equivalence prooofs
