Advanced Algebraic Structures

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Advanced Algebraic Structures
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. recognize, analyse, and calculate with examples the abstract notions ‘field extension’, `separability’, `normality’. The Galois correspondence can be formulated, and used in concrete examples. Moreover basic definitions, examples, and applications of the theory of modules over a commutative ring are understood (cyclic modules, Hom's, tensor products, exact sequences). 2. acquire skills in reproducing and designing proofs relevant in this theory.
Omschrijving	One half of the course extends the field theory introduced in the course Algebraic Structures. Topics treated include Galois Theory, cyclotomic fields, quadratic reciprocity. The other half of the course treats some basic theory of modules over commutative rings (including tensor products).
