High school algebra is essentially the study of the laws that govern the system of numbers we use for ordinary arithmetic. This course focuses on certain of these laws and studies the systems, called "groups," governed bythem. Groups have beautiful properties and describe many phenomena: crystallography, graphic art, matrix algebra, counting, nuclear physics, codes, and more. The course studies the group laws and their consequences, as well as many examples of systems satisfying these laws. Meets Science and Math II-A requirement H.
