Abstract Algebra

Catalog description

A proof-based course that introduces the principles and concepts of modern abstract algebra. Topics will include groups, rings, and fields, with applications to number theory, the theory of equations, and geometry. Previous proof-writing experience is not required. MATH 1530 is required of all students concentrating in mathematics. It is strongly suggested that potential mathematics concentrators make MATH 1530 one of the first thousand level mathematics classes that they take.
