MATH 5333G - Modern Algebra I (3 Credit Hours)

Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0
This course is an introduction to the fundamental algebraic structures: groups, rings and fields. Topics covered include: binary operations, groups (permutation groups, subgroups, cyclic groups, group homomorphisms, factor groups), rings (integral domains, ring homomorphisms) and fields. The historical and mathematical connections to the secondary mathematics curriculum will be incorporated as appropriate. Graduate students will complete assignments beyond the scope of the undergraduate requirements. These assignments require higher-level mastery of the subject matter and additional deliverables representative of graduate-level work, as determined by the instructor.

Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of “C” in MATH 2332.
Cross Listing(s): MATH 5333.
Restriction(s): NO Undergraduate Level Students
