Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
Students taking the course are expected to:
  • There are no concrete preconditions, but it is an advantage to have followed the course MM538.
  • Be able to use basic mathematical thinking. 
 


Course introduction
The aim of the course is to introduce the student to the theory of groups. 

The course builds on the knowledge acquired in the course MM505 Linear algebra MM551 Algebra 1 and gives academic basis for making a bachelor project in algebra or take elective courses on the master level with algebraic content.

In relation to the competence profile of the degree it is the explicit focus of the course to:
  • Give the competence to reason within an abstract mathematical context, and understand this context through concrete examples. The course, moreover, gives competence to understand and construct mathematical proofs.
  • Give skills regarding proofs, mathematical thinking and understanding of abstract mathematical structures.
  • Give knowledge and understanding of groups, homomorphisms, isomorphisms, subgroups, abelian groups, finite groups.
 


Expected learning outcome
The learning objective of the course is that the student demonstrates the ability to:
  • Understand and carry out reasoning pertaining to groups and their homomorphisms.
  • Have knowledge of  concrete examples of various types of groups and their properties.
 


Subject overview
The following main topics are contained in the course:
  • Groups, subgroups, finite groups, quotient groups, abelian groups.
  • Homomorphisms, isomorphisms, kernel, isomorphism theorems.
