Qualification Goals

Competences:

The students

  • know and use algebraic forms of representation and argumentation and the formal language means of algebra with aplomb,
  • understand basic principles of algebraic structures and recognize that such structures can be found in many parts of mathematics and are profitably applied there,
  • know and use axiomatic procedures,
  • are familiar with the problem of solving algebraic equations, know about the driving force which they represent in the history in algebra, and they know and use the results available for this purpose,
  • have a deeper understanding of the implications and benefits of the algebraic structures such as group, ring and field and can explain the associated results of algebra. They understand concepts such as divisibility and factorization in an abstract context and can also use them in elementary contexts,
  • have basic algebraic knowledge which is required in areas of specialization such as algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry, discrete mathematics, function theory of several variables.

Qualification goals:

Students know and use basic algebraic structures such as groups, rings and fields. They apply algebraic forms of representation and argumentation and understand axiomatic procedures.
