MATH 224 — Introductory Abstract Algebra -Prerequisite pass in MATH 126

Mathematics · University of Ghana

This is the first course in abstract algebra and as such it will be the students‘ first approach to an axiomatic presentation of mathematics. Among the topics to be discussed are notions of relations on sets, equivalence relations and equivalence classes as well as the concept of partial ordering. The system of real numbers and their properties will be discussed. The principle of induction will be reviewed. An introduction to number theory will be given as numbers are the most familiar mathematical objects. The course seeks also to introduce axiomatically defined systems such as groups, rings and fields, and vector spaces.
