Course Code : Major 14
Course Title : Abstract Algebra
Course Credit : 3 units/54 hours
Prerequisite : Logic and Set Theory

Course Description:

The study of “abstract algebra” grew out of an interest in knowing how attributes of sets of mathematical objects behave when one or more properties we associate
with real numbers are restricted.  For example, we are familiar with the notion that real numbers are closed under multiplication and division (that is, if we add or
multiply a real number, we get a real number).  But if we divide one integer by another integer, we may not get an integer as a result—meaning that integers are not
closed under division.  We also know that if we take any two integers and multiply them in either order, we get the same result—a principle known as the commutative
principle of multiplication for integers.  By contrast, matrix multiplication is not generally commutative.  Students of abstract algebra are interested in these sorts of
properties, as they want to determine which properties hold true for any set of mathematical objects under certain operations and which types of structures result when we
perform certain operations.  Abstract algebra has applications in a variety of diverse fields, including computation, physics, and economics and, as a result, is an
important area in mathematics.

Course Intended Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the semester, the students are expected to:

1. describe and generate groups, rings, and fields;
2. relate abstract algebraic constructs to more familiar number sets and operations and see from where the constructs derive.;
3. identify examples of specific constructs;
4. identify and differentiate between different structures and understand how changing properties give rise to new structures;
5. explain the theory behind relations and functions and identify domains and images of functions, based on the structures given;
6. explain how functions may relate seemingly dissimilar structures to each other and how knowing properties of one structure allows us to know the same
properties in the related structure, if certain functions exist between them.
