We will study the group theory mostly as a review, the ring theory
including Euclidean domains and polynomial rings, the module theory
including
modules over principal ideal domains, and some representation theory of
finite groups. These are fundamental topics for many areas of
pure-mathematics
such as the number theory, algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and so on.
The undergraduate knowledge of groups and vector spaces will be very
helpful for this course. However, we will not necessarily assume these
as prerequisite.
