To promote the study of Universal Algebra in the new millennium,
the text of the out-of-print original Springer-Verlag
Graduate Texts in Mathematics edition, 1981,
of A Course in Universal Algebra was made available online
as a PDF file in the year 2000, thanks to the support of NSERC.
During 2012 the on-line version was reformatted to keep the pages (but not
individual lines) in agreement with the original 1981 edition, the
typeface was changed from Computer Modern to Times, an ISBN
number has been added, and errors that had been discovered were corrected.
The authors permit this PDF file of our book to be freely copied, distributed
and printed, for non-commercial educational purposes,
by anyone, anywhere, including educational institutions and libraries.
Feel free to download and print off your own copy. And be sure to tell
others that this text is once again available! Colleagues have
noted the value of downloading a copy and attaching it to their
webpage, especially for the benefit of their students who may not
have fast access to this site. Please feel free to do this as
well.
And it would be appreciated if you put a link to this site,
www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~snburris,
on your web page so your students can easily
find the other files and interactive programs available here.

The pre-2012 version is still available:
Since this text has been retyped from the Springer-Verlag original it is
possible that an occasional error has crept in. Please inform the authors
of any such that you find and we will put them in an on-line
errata sheet.
