Your report must include a title, clear exposition of the topic with examples, and a list of at least two relevant scientific references besides the course textbook. The exposition should be of sufficiently high quality and clear enough for a typical classmate to easily understand your report. At the successful completion of the course, students are expected to become familiar with common algebraic structures such as groups, rings, integral domains, ideals and fields, the concepts of operations, functions and homomorphisms, the postulational methods of pure mathematics, as well as be able to read and write correct mathematical proofs. Project and homework assignments must be turned in on time. Late, messy, or illegible work will not be graded.
Team work on assignments is encouraged.
Use the opportunity of group-work to try to understand and learn the material. Each group member should help each other learn. Questions or comments are encouraged. Class participation will be noted and used to help raise your grade.
