This course is dispensed by the Scottish Mathematical Sciences Training Centre, with different teachers taking turns broadcasting their lectures from and to universities around Scotland.
This course revises and extend standard undergraduate algebra in various directions.
The first part is on group theory, and includes topics on group actions, simple groups, soluble groups, Sylow’s Theorems, and computational aspects.
The second part is on rings and modules, presenting basic definitions and examples (in particular the ring of algebraic integers), chain conditions (Artinianity and Noetherianity), Hilbert’s Basis Theorem and Nullstellensatz.
