MATH 446 — Module Theory-Prerequisite MATH 440

Mathematics · University of Ghana

In this course we shall study the mathematical objects called modules. The use of modules was pioneered by one of the most prominent mathematicians, Emmy Noether (a German), who led the way in demonstrating the power and elegance of this structure. Topics include: modules, submodules, homomorphism of modules. Quotient modules, free (finitely generated) modules. Exact sequences of modules. Direct sum and product of modules. Chain conditions, Noetherian and Artinian modules. Projective and injective modules. Tensor product, categories and functors. Hom and duality of modules.
