Course objectives
The course provides basic knowledge about polynomials and about solving algebraic equations, it further aims at actively mastering theoretical constructions of number domains and their basic properties. An inseparable part of this course is the theory of lattices and Boole algebras.
Learning outcomes
1. Polynomials, operations with polynomials, ring of polynomials, value and root of a polynomial. 2. Greatest common divisor and least common multiple. 3. Factoring polynomials, determining the root of a polynomial, relationship between the roots and coefficients of a polynomial. 4. Algebraic equations and their solution. Elementary theorem of algebra. 5. Polynomials in more variables, symmetric polynomials and applications. 6. Models of Boole algebra, logical circuits. 7. Complex numbers and their introduction and applications in school mathematics and in technological practice.
