The algebraic structure plays an important role in mathematical and computing sciences. The objectives of this course are to provide the fundamentals of algebra, particularly on congruence, group, subgroup, homomorphism, quotient group, homomorphism theorem, ring, ideal, finite fields and so on, and also for the students to built backgrounds to apply algebra in mathematical and computing sciences.
The students are expected to understand the fundamentals of mathematical methods to handle algebraic structures appeared in mathematical and computing sciences and also to be able to apply them to practical problems.
