Goal:
A set together with one or more binary operations,
such as addition or multiplication,
is called an algebraic structure.
The main object in this course is an algebraic structure called group.
The concept of a group has become one of the most fundamental in modern mathematics.
The main goal of this course is to present a detailed discussion of the basic ideas underlying
the theory of groups, the fundamental theorems (such as the fundamental theorem of abelian groups and the Sylow theorems) and methods to help the students tackle further algebra they will encounter in their research and teaching. If time permits, several specific branches of groups theory will be discussed.
Grading:
Grades will be based on homework, exams and projects
weighted as follows:
