>so, just to recapitulate, Artin does what D&F do, but in less of space?D&F has more material, so I guess in that sense there's "more" in D&F than in Artin. But they're both written at the same undergrad/early grad level. So there's not much sense in reading one then reading the other. The whole point of reading these books isn't really to know algebra facts, but to develop maturity so at one point you can do math at a research level. Maturity isn't really gained by rereading the same crap with slightly more elaborations this time, but by engaging with lots of (appropriately) hard and new concepts.
On a semi relevant note, that's also why I hate the Rudin fever this board has. It doesn't matter where you learned analysis from, since at the end of the day if you know what an infinum is and you can do a shitty epsilon/3 proof you probably know analysis well enough to start engaging with a higher level of theory.
