Text: "Algebra, Abstract and Concrete", Second Edition,   Frederick M. Goodman

Prerequisites: A passing grade in Math 425.
 
 

Course Outline: Chapters 5-8.
 

Grading: Grade based on homework and quizzes, three exams, and a final exam, as well as a special project assignment, on a subject to be chosen in consultation with the instructor.  Projects may be done as an individual work, or as a collaboration with other members of the class.
 

Method 1: Each exam 15%, Final Exam 15%, Homework and Quizzes 25%, Special Project 15%.
 

Method 2: Best two exams 20% each, Final Exam 20%, Homework and Quizzes 25%, Special Project 15%.
 
 
 

Office hours:  Office hours will be announced, but I will be happy to see
you by appointment as well.
 
 

Homework: Homework will be assigned weekly. You may work together on the homework problems, but the paper you turn in should be your own writing, reflecting your own understanding of the problem, and therefore I do not expect to see identical solutions. It is expected that students will read the topic to be discussed in class before the class meeting, so that I will expect students to be familiar with the terminology introduced in the section, and may include questions regarding the reading assigment on quizzes. Students will be expected to prepare a glossary of terms, which they may use as a reference when taking quizzes.
