Advanced -- A first course in higher abstract mathematics. Emphasis is
placed on writing proofs. Topics in Mathematics 331 include groups
(motivated by permutation groups), rings, fields (motivated by number
theory), and homomorphisms, and applications. Topics in Mathematics 332
include the above and ideals, integral domains, order, algebraic
properties of integers, polynomials over algebraic structures, vector
spaces and modules. This course is offered in the spring semester,
2004-2005 and alternate years.
