Abstract Algebra

Education facts

Code: MMA501

Algebra is one of the fundamental branches of modern mathematics. It has its origins in the theory of numbers and geometry. The aim of the course is to find, through examples, the mathematical structures underlying concepts in number theory and geometry. These structures, groups, rings and fields, are applied in multiple contexts such as counting and enumeration problems, coding theory and combinatorial designs.

Entry requirements

120 credit points in Engineering, Natural Science, Business Administration, or Economics, including at least two of the courses Vector Algebra 7.5 credit points, Discrete Mathematics 7.5 credit points, Linear Algebra 7.5 credit points, or the equivalent. In addition, Swedish course 3 or Swedish level 3 and English course 6 or English level 2 are required. For courses given entirely in English exemption is made from the requirement in Swedish course 3 or Swedish level 3.

Education offerings

Each offering has its own dates and conditions. Closed offerings are retained as history and do not mean that a new application is open.
