This page contains materials related to the course MA535, Algebra.
This year in MA535, we will cover Chapters 3--4, 8--10, and 13--14 of the text by Dummit and Foote. The course will assume an undergraduate knowledge of group theory, ring theory and field theory and will cover these topics in more detail than our undergraduate MA3823 and MA3825. Special attention will be given to Modules and Galois Theory. All of the homework will be proofs. A talented graduate student with no prior course in abstract algebra should be able to pick up the preliminary material on their own. Chapters 1,2,6,7 will be briefly reviewed in class.
A student who has not studied algebra at the undergraduate level should purchase the text early and study Chapters 1 and 2 first.
