Course Description and Syllabus:
Math 200a is the first quarter of the three-part graduate algebra sequence. In this quarter, we will cover primarily group theory and basic ring theory as in Chapters 1-9 of Dummit and Foote's text, Abstract Algebra. Math 200b will concentrate on the theory of modules and fields, while Math 200c will cover the more advanced theory of commutative rings. The detailed syllabus for the course can be found at the following link. It is important that all students read it since the full course policies may not be gone over in class. Please ask if you have any questions about these policies.
