Relation to Other Units
The course expands ideas introduced in MATH21800 Algebra 2, and has relations to MATH20200 Metric Spaces, MATH33300 Group Theory and MATHM1200 Algebraic Topology.

Students who successfully complete the unit should:
Lectures, including examples and revision classes, supported by lecture notes with problem sets and model solutions. Self-study with directed reading based on recommended material.
80% Examination and 20% Coursework.
Coursework will be 4 homework sheets during the lectures weeks 1-6 each worth 2.5% and then a sheet with questions from the whole unit set in weeks 7-10 worth 10%
Raw scores on the examinations will be determined according to the marking scheme written on the examination paper. The marking scheme, indicating the maximum score per question, is a guide to the relative weighting of the questions. Raw scores are moderated as described in the Undergraduate Handbook.
