| Course description |
| In modern engineering, the methods of abstract algebra based on sets and axioms are frequently used for cryptology, coding theory, formal language theory, etc. In this course, we will learn fundamentals of abstract algebra such as groups, rings and fields. |
| Expected Learning |
|
The goal of this course is to be capable of: (1) explaining the meanings of basic concepts and terms about groups, rings and fields, (2) performing basic operations on integers modulo n, (3) solving systems of linear congruence equations, (4) applying Fermat’s little theorem and Euler’s theorem to concrete examples. |

Semigroups and groups, examples of groups (pp.23-27, pp.44-48) 5. Subgroups, cyclic groups, equivalent relations induced by subgroups (pp.27-29, p.42) 6.

| Message from instructor(s) |
| For learners, algebra might seem too abstract at first. However, it is closely linked to well-known integers or polynomials. I will make efforts to give concrete examples in the lecture. |
