Welcome to the MT310 course website for Prof. Friedberg's class.  This website is the primary way for you to get information about our course, including the homework assignments.  It also contains the course syllabus.  

Note: Many of the documents contained herein require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print. If you open a document and are asked to find Acrobat Reader, there is a copy in the Eaglenet Resources folder. If you need to install a copy on your computer, you may download a free copy from the Adobe web site.


First some information about MT310. Here is the course description as given on the Mathematics Department web site.

This course studies four fundamental algebraic structures: groups, including subgroups, cyclic groups, permutation groups, symmetry groups and Lagrange's Theorem; rings, including subrings, integral domains, and unique factorization domains; polynomials, including a discussion of unique factorization and methods for finding roots; fields, introducing the basic ideas of field extensions and ruler and compass constructions.

Second, here are the dates of the exams.  Please note that full information about the grading policy for this course may be found in the syllabus (see link above).

Hour Exam Dates: Tentatively scheduled for Wednesday March 1, 2006 and Wednesday, April 12, 2006.

The Final Examination for Section 01 is on Thursday, May 11, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. 

Important: The date and time of the final examination is fixed by the Registrar and may not be changed.  Note that you MUST attend the final examination for the Section of MT310 that you are registered in. 

SOME MATH LINKS

Most of my math links have been incorporated into the math department's website.  One I particularly wish to call your attention to is the Association for Women in Mathematics.  This association supports women in mathematics at all levels of study. The "AWM Resources" link connects you to many other sites with useful information.
