| Course Title: Abstract Algebra: 'Rings' |
| Start Date: 10/21/2020 End Date: 12/14/2020 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2020 |
| Description: Abstract algebra is the study of the common principles that govern computations with seemingly disparate objects. One way to begin is by studying rings, which are sets with two operations, typically addition and multiplication. Examples include the integers, the integers modulo n, and polynomials in n variables. Our goal is to study a definition of rings that unifies all of the important examples above and more. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: I actually prefer the first and second edition of this textbook So if you can find one of them, that would be best! The 3rd edition will be fine too. There is an online version of this textbook that you can read at Internet Archive but you have to login to the archive to read it and you can only borrow it for an hour at a time. Let me know if you are having trouble getting the book. Here is the link to that online archive: https://archive.org/details/abstractalgebrai00hung Let me know if you are having trouble getting the book. |
