MATH 4362 - Modern Algebra II

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: A grade of “C” or better in MATH 4361.
This course is a continuation of MATH 4361 in which portions of the theory of abstract algebra will be developed more fully and specific applications will be examined more deeply. Some theoretical and applied areas from which the topics of this course will be chosen are Galois Theory (including straight-edge and compass constructability, Galois groups, and solvability of polynomials by radicals), lattices and Boolean Algebras, cryptography, and/or other application areas (at the instructor’s discretion).
