| Summary | This course covers groups and commutative rings which are maybe the most natural algebraic structures. We assume you are familiar with the most simple concepts of group theory as they are taught in compulsory algebra courses everywhere, and cover a standard set of topics in the structure theory especially of finite groups. |
| Course description |
The aim is to learn new things to get a broad education in the area as a basis for a wide range of PhD projects and for post-PhD employment. Unless otherwise noted, the details of the content of these courses can be found on the Scottish Mathematical Sciences Training Centre web site www.smstc.ac.uk
