Course Syllabus
Abstract
The goal of the course is to learn basic concepts of abstract algebra. We start with a definition of an associative binary operation on a set and develop basics of the groups, rings, fields, vector spaces and algebras. Every abstract definition is illustrated by many examples. Special attention is paid to the quotients of groups and rings, as the most important construction in abstract algebra.
Learning Objectives
- Learn syntax and semantics of the group theory.
- Learn syntax and semantics of the rings theory with special attention to the univariate polynomial rings.
- Learn finite and algebraic extensions of fields.
- Learn splitting fields of polynomials and application to the finite field construction.
- Get acquainted with with algebras such as algebra of quaternions, tensor algebra and exterior algebra.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Learn basics of the group theory.
- Learn basics of the ring theory.
- Learn basics of the field theory and see several examples of algebras.
