Description:

3 credits This course introduces the study of algebraic systems including properties of fields and groups, isomorphism, group generators, and algebraic proof. Applications from the visual arts and chemistry - rose window symmetry, frieze patterns, Escher- and Escher-like graphics, crystallography - are used to motivate the concept of A group. When placed in historical context, modern algebra and group theory are seen as the nineteenth century search for A general theory of structure in algebra.
