Some of the problems are surprisingly laborious.  There's even a sequel by the same authors, Higher Algebra, that includes concepts that most mathematics students probably haven't seen.  I'm not sure if that's a testament to the uselessness of those concepts... but they're interesting nonetheless. 

Many concepts in higher math eventually become more trivial than useful...for instance, much of geometry is useless for me (side-angle-side and that nonsense). I'll definitely give this book a shot. I enjoy seeing what I missed in math

Well that's a blast from the past!  I haven't taken geometry since high school (many many years ago) and I haven't heard side-angle-side since.

I hope you enjoy the book.  Algebra by Gelfand and Shen is another excellent algebra book if you're interested in a more modern approach.  It feels more like a puzzle book than a math book.
