Goal:
A set together with one or more binary operations,
such as addition or multiplication,
is called an algebraic structure.
The main objects in this course are groups, rings and fields,
which are representative examples of algebraic structures.
These objects naturally
arise throughout mathematics, engineering and computer science.
This course is a transitional course,
in which a mathematical argument and the construction of the proof
are introduced.
