Abstract Algebraic Structures – MATH 423
CG • Section 8WK • 07/01/2018 to 12/31/2199 • Modified 02/01/2024
Course Description
This course focuses on developing an understanding of basic algebraic concepts and the structures of groups, rings, fields and homomorphisms through both examples and proofs.
For information regarding prerequisites for this course, please refer to the Academic Course Catalog.
Rationale
A basic understanding of algebraic systems, built on fundamental axioms, it is necessary to understand and effectively explain the process used when "doing" algebra. This course is designed to provide an axiomatic understanding of the structure of general algebraic systems which can then be applied to subsets of the real numbers.
