MATH 327 - Algebra I: Group Theory

FC NSMA QFR

4 credits
A first course in the modern algebraic structures and techniques fundamental to mathematics and useful in many areas of science and engineering. Topics include: groups, subgroups, quotient groups, isomorphism theorems, permutation groups, finite groups, and selected applications to combinatorics, geometry, symmetry, and crystallography. Due to the importance of these courses to the mathematics major, students should not take MATH 301 and MATH 327 in the same semester.

Prerequisites: (MATH 220 and MATH 232).
