- Course objectives
- The aim of this introductory course is to give students the basic algebraic rudiments, which are assumed in some advanced courses.
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of this course, students should be able to:
* define basic notions of group theory and ring theory;
* explain learned theoretical results;
* apply learned methods to concrete exercises. - Syllabus
- Binary operation on a set, semigroup, (abelian) group; examples of groups and semigroups (numbers, permutations, residue classes, matrices, vectors), basic properties of groups (including powers and order of an element).
- Subgroup (including the subgroup generated by a set).
- Homomorphism and isomorphism of groups (Cayley's theorem, classification of cyclic groups), product of groups.
- Partition of a group, left cosets of a subgroup (Lagrange's theorem and their consequences).
- Quotient groups (normal subgroup, quotient group).
- Center of a group.
- Finite groups, p-groups, classification of finite abelian groups, Sylow's theorems.
- (Commutative) ring, integral domain, fields, their basic properties.
- Subring (including the subring generated by a set).
- Homomorphism and isomorphism of rings.
- Polynomials (basic properties, division of polynomials with remainder, Euclidean algorithm, value of a polynomial in an element, root of a polynomial, multiple roots, connection with the derivative of a polynomial).
- Polynomials over the fields of complex, real and rational numbers and over the ring of integers (irreducible polynomials, computation of roots of a polynomial).

- Teaching methods
- Lectures: theoretical explanation. Exercises: solving problems with the aim to understand basic concepts and theorems, homework (e-tests).
- Assessment methods
- Examination consists of two parts: a written test and an oral examination. To pass the written part, which consists of 7 exercises, it is necessary to get at least 50% of points (35 points of 70). The students successful in the written part have to show in the following oral part that they are able to define the used notions and to work with them, to formulate the explained statements and to prove the easier of them.
- Language of instruction
- Czech
