COURSE DESCRIPTION

WHAT IS MATH 100C? This is the third undergraduate course in abstract algebra. In this course, we explore fields and field extensions (Chapter 6 in the textbook) as well as Galois theory (Chapter 8 in the textbook.) In the process, we will briefly revisit some topics in group theory (Chapter 7 in the textbook.)
