This is the first semester in a year-long sequence covering the theory of groups, rings and fields. Additional topics, chosen at the discretion of the instructor, may include classic problems in constructibility and the solvability of polynomial equations and the theory of other abstract algebraic structures such as semigroups, modules, lattices, and Boolean algebras.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: MATH 114 and 135A. (Formerly, Higher Algebra.)
