Algebra

This class meets on Tuesdays 10:15–12:00 in Zeichensaal and Wednesdays 8:30–10:00 in SR6.

The course is a continuation of "Lineare Algebra 1" and "Lineare Algebra 2". Its topic, broadly, is "Groups, rings, fields". In particular, we will try to cover

  1. Group theory: group actions; Sylow theorems, solvable and nilpotent groups
  2. Linear representations of groups
  3. Ring theory
  4. Field extensions and Galois groups

A good reference is Michael Artin's "Algebra" book.

The assistant for the course is Leon Pernak, and the tutor is Robin Lahni.
