Desired Learning Outcomes
Prerequisites
Math 671 is a prerequisite for this course. In particular, students should have a deep knowledge of groups, rings, and modules. Students should be able to prove difficult theorems on their own.
Minimal learning outcomes
Students should achieve an advanced mastery of the topics listed below. This means that they should know all relevant definitions, correct statements and proofs of the major theorems (including their hypotheses and limitations), and examples and non-examples of the various concepts The students should be able to demonstrate their mastery by solving difficult problems related to these concepts, and by proving theorems about the below concepts, even if the theorems go beyond the material in the text.
