Depending on the course.
Basic concepts and established results in the field of non-commutative algebra (structure theory, special classes of non-commutative algebras) and their connections to other mathematical structures such as group theory and Lie theory are presented.
Qualification Goals
Students
- Have gained insight into a current area of research,
- understand the basic structures and techniques of noncommutative algebra,
- have been confronted with unfamiliar abstract mathematical concepts, which they have gradually been able to better understand and apply through examples and sentences,
- have deepened mathematical ways of working (developing mathematical intuition and its formal justification, abstraction, proof),
- have improved their oral communication skills in tutorials by practicing free speech in front of an audience and in discussion.
Prerequisites
None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: either Foundations of Mathematics and Linear Algebra I and Linear Algebra II or Basic Linear Algebra, either Analysis I and Analysis II or Basic Real Analysis, Algebra.
