Welcome

Hi all,

And welcome to MAT2200 - Groups, Rings and Fields! I have lectures on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Gaute Schwartz will host problem sessions on Wednesdays.

The textbook for the course is Fraleigh's "A First Course In Abstract Algebra", 7th edition. The tentative curriculum is sections

2-6, 8-11, 13-23, 26, 27, 29-31, 33, 36-37, 48-51, 53, 54, 56. (Updated 5/3/23 to remove 36-37).

The dashes above denote all sections in between, i.e. 2-6 means sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Before we start lectures next week, it may be useful to have a look at Section 0, which summarises some material on how to work with and talk about sets.
