| Feb 5, 2023 at 4:39 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @DonuArapura The more recent editions of Lang have an improved homological algebra section. | |
| Feb 5, 2023 at 4:12 | comment | added | Donu Arapura | I used Lang as a student many years ago. My recollections of the book were that it was good but a little eccentric (e.g. look at the exercise on homological algebra). There some other choices, such as Dummit and Foote (sp?), that might work for you as well | |
