Course objectives
Main topics of the course are: - Factorization of grupoids, groups and rings, field extensions. - Construction of number domains (an axiomatic development of natural numbers, integers, and the fields of rational, real, and complex numbers). At the end of this course, students should understand the construction of the basic numbers and be able to study further topics of algebra and field theory.
Syllabus
  • Construction of number domains (an axiomatic development of natural numbers, integers, and the fields of rational, real, and complex numbers). Quotient groups and fields, field extensions, ruler and compass constructions. Algebraic and transcendental numbers. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.
