COURSE DESCRIPTION

 
WHAT IS MATH 103B? This is the second undergraduate course in modern algebra. In this course we continue to examine topics from the theory of rings, fields, and vector spaces. We will cover most of Chapters 12-19 in the textbook as well as some basic definitions and properties of vector spaces over arbitrary fields.

TEXT
  Gallian, J. A.,  Contemporary Abstract Algebra, Seventh Edition (Brooks/Cole, 2010). You are expected to read the text BEFORE each lecture. The students enrolled in this class are expected to be familiar with the material in Chapters I-XI of the textbook (covered  in  Math 103A, which is a background requirement for Math 103B.)
