COURSE SYLLABUS
COURSE CODE: MATH 57
COURSE TITLE: Abstract Algebra
COURSE TYPE: Lecture
COURSE CREDIT: Three (3)
PRE-REQUISITE: MATH 27
CO-REQUISITE: None
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is a study of basic algebraic structures such as groups, rings, integral domains and fields. It provides a basic understanding
of relations focusing on isomorphism. It aims to enhance the student’s skills in constructing mathematical proofs, and develop their symbolic
thinking and appreciation of mathematical structures.
COURSE LEVEL LEARNING OUTCOMES:
By the end of the semester, the students can:
1. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of groups, subgroups, and order of an element in finite groups.
2. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concept of co-sets of a subgroup of a group and normal subgroups.
3. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of symmetric groups, cyclic groups and their properties.
4. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of direct product of groups.
5. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concept of quotient groups.
6. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concept of group homomorphism and isomorphism.

CLASS POLICIES:
1. Regular attendance and punctuality in coming to class are mandatory.
2. Absences due to sickness will require medical certification in order for the student to be entitled to make up for work missed (i.e.
papers, quizzes, and exams).
3. Students must be on time. Student is considered late if he comes 15 minutes after the scheduled class time.
4. A student is marked absent if he is not present within the first 30 minutes of the scheduled class time.
5. If the student was not able to take the exam on the specified date, he/she will be given special exam provided there is a valid reason
and supporting documents.
6. Anyone who will be caught cheating during quizzes or exams will be given necessary sanctions by the head(s) of the school and will
automatically get a grade of “0”.
7. Active participation in assigned group activities is expected.
8. Students must submit all the requirements (i.e. project, problem set) on time.
9. Students must wear proper uniform and observe proper haircut.
