Course overview

The algebraic notions of groups, rings and fields are inherently interesting, while their practical applications extend across numerous areas. This course will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental structures and concepts in abstract algebra. The course begins with definitions and examples of groups, rings and fields. It then advances to examining and proving key theorems, culminating in establishing the connection between solving polynomials and the procedure of field extensions.
