ALGEBRA

This is the second half of a year long course in algebra. We will cover the fundamentals on rings and modules, field theory, and Galois theory. This corresponds more or less to chapters 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 from Artin's book. A basic goal of the course is to use the abstract theory to develop an intuition in concrete examples and learn to understand and produce sound mathematical arguments.
