Algebra (G5144)
15 credits, Level 5
Autumn teaching
Algebra gives you the tools to recognise when very different mathematical objects share the same underlying structure. Thanks to the concept of ‘group’, you will be able to treat in the same way the set of real numbers and the collection of symmetries of a Platonic solid.
You will also come to understand that there are situations where extremely useful properties, like being free to multiply numbers together in any order you like, are no longer true.
