Class Number: 3060
This course is the first semester of a yearlong course in abstract algebra on groups, rings, and fields and their homomorphisms. Quotient groups, quotient rings, and the isomorphism theorems. Standard examples including symmetric groups, free groups, and finitely generated abelian groups; integral domains, PIDs and UFDs, and polynomial rings; finite and infinite fields.
