Course Name : Modern Algebra

Code(Credit) : CUTM1516(3-0-3)

Course Objectives

  • A major objective is to introduce students to the language and precision of modern algebra. This means that the course will be proof-based, in the sense that students will be expected to understand, construct, and write proofs.
  • A challenge for all students of mathematics is to balance the understanding with the communication. There is a tendency to think you are finished once you see why a mathematical statement is true or false.

In fact you are just half-way there because constructing a legitimate proof involves different skills and expertise than the discovery part of the process. In this course both angles of problem-solving will be stressed.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

 

  • Effectively write abstract mathematical proofs in a clear and logical manner.
  • Locate and use theorems to solve problems in number theory and theory of polynomials over a field.
  • Demonstrate ability to think critically by interpreting theorems and relating results to problems in other mathematical disciplines.
  • Demonstrate ability to think critically by recognizing patterns and principles of algebra and relating them to the number system.

Work effectively with others to discuss homework problems put on the board.
