The course aims to introduce the student to the world of algebraic structures, explaining also their origin and motivation.
Content:
The primary emphasis will be on group theory (finite groups, permutation groups, subgroups, homomorphism, normal subgroup quotient, classification of finite abelian groups, symmetries group and group action) and commutative ring theory (ring, homomorphism, ideals, quotient, polynomial ring, field extension, and geometric constructions)
On completion of the course the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
