M343K INTRODUCTION TO ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES
Prerequisite and degree relevance:
The prerequisite is one of M311, M341, M340L with a grade of at least C,
and either 325K, 328K, with a grade of at least C. This course is designed
to provide additional exposure to abstract rigorous mathematics on an introductory
level. Students who demonstrate superior performance in M311 or M341 should
take M373K RATHER THAN 343K Those students whose performance in M311 or
M341 is average should take M343K before taking M373K Credit for M343K can
NOT be earned after a student has received credit for M373K with a grade
of at least C.
Course description:
Elementary properties of the integers, groups, rings, and fields are studied.
