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 either MATH-206 or MATH-232.

This course will satisfy the MATH-311 requirement for the mathematics major.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
