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.
Prereq: MATH-211 and MATH-232.
This course will satisfy the MATH-311 requirement for the mathematics major.
