Cyclic Groups, Permutation Groups, Cosets, Isomorphism, Normal and Factor Groups, Homomorphism, and introduction to rings. It aims to develop symbolic thinking,
enhance skills in writing proofs, and foster appreciation for mathematical structures which are all helpful in dealing with higher mathematics

Prerequisite/s: None

Course Outcome: At the end of the course, the students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate critical thinking in interpreting and applying fundamental concepts and proving claims concerning basic algebraic structures (e.g. groups, subgroups, homomorphisms)
2. Exhibit competence in identifying as well as producing examples and non-examples of particular algebraic structures using their properties and relevant mathematical concepts
3. Show skills in working with functions to relate seemingly dissimilar algebraic structures
4. Reconstruct algebraic concepts and reformulate principles based on mathematical investigations
5. Communicate abstract algebra ideas in both written and oral form
6. Design classroom activities and materials on selected abstract algebra concepts with the use of ICT
