Groups and Rings (FSI-SG0)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Miroslav Kureš, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚM all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Students will be made familiar with advanced algebra, in particular group theory and ring theory.
Learning outcomes and competences:
The course makes access to mastering in a wide range of results of algebra.
Prerequisites:
Linear algebra, general algebra
Course contents:
In the course Groups and rings, students are familiarised with selected topics of algebra. The acquired knowledge is a starting point not only for further study of algebra and other mathematical disciplines, but also a necessary assumption for a use of algebraic methods in a practical solving of number of problems.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Course credit: the attendance, satisfactory solutions of homeworks
Controlled participation in lessons:
Lectures: recommended
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
Course curriculum:
    Lecture 1. Groups, subgroups, factor groups
2. Group homomorphisms, group actions on a set, group products
3. Topological, Lie and algebraic groups
4. Jets of mappings, jet groups
5. Rings and ideals
6. Euclidean rings, PID and UFD
7. Monoid a group rings
8. Gradede rings, R-algebras
9. Polynomials and polynomial morphisms
10. Modules and representations
11. Finite group and rings
12. Quaternionic algebras
13. Reserve - the topic to be specified
