Abstract Algebra
Mathematics 3520
Spring
2010
MATH 3520. Abstract Algebra
II. Spring 2010
This is the optional second
semester of MATH 3510 Abstract Algebra I.
We will cover more advanced
topics. We will begin with error-detecting codes like the international
standard book number ISBN-code and use dihedral groups to make better
ISBN-like codes. After that, we will do permutation groups with two
main topics: counting under group actions and Wielandt's proof of the
first Sylow theorem. Then we will do a bit of finite geometry and
consider groups of symmetries of spaces. This will be a finite
introduction to Felix Klein's Erlangen program. This will take up the
first half of the semester.
In the second half, we will
do ring theory, focusing on polynomial and power series rings. We will
introduce the basic concepts of ring theory and look at them from
concrete points of view. We will do some elementary number theory,
invariant theory, and arithmetic algebraic geometry. We might get to
Groebner basis theory if time permits.
Pre-requisites. The
pre-requisite is MATH 3510. This is a continuation of that course. We
will assume some knowledge of group theory but we will do ring theory
from scratch.
Grading. There will be
homework, two hour test during the semester, a final, and an individual
project.
Textbook. We will use the textbook from the first semester 3510. For
most of the material, there will be supplementary handouts.
Questions? Ask the instructor (or his cat). Joseph Kung, GAB 471B.
