So I came home one day and to find that my Algebra: Chapter 0 book came in. So I did what any anxious mathematician would do and started reading it...Little did I know, I was in for a surprise. There I was reading the beginning of the book. After skimming through the Table of Contents, I proceeded to the introduction were he start explaining how this book came to be. Pretty basic....until I stumbled upon this statement. "...I will mention Georges Elencwajg, Xia Liao, and Mirroslav Yotov for particularly precious contributions." It took me a while to take in what had just happen and my following thought was "No, I didn't just understand that right. Let me read it over again." Lo and behold, It was not another of my mind playing tricks on me. Yotov actually help correct this book. Don't believe me? Algebra: Chapter 0, Paolo Aluffi pg. xix 3rd to last paragraph ....yea, crazy, right?

You can see Professor Yotov mentioned also in Elementary Algebraic Geometry by Hülek!
