|
| Duration : | 30h Th, 30h Pr |
|
| Credits/ECTS : |
|
|
| Holder(s) : | Georges Hansoul |
|
| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | a) Galois theory : fields extensions, normal and algebraic closures, Galois correspondance, solvability of polynomial equations by radicals.
b) Universal algebra : structures on a first order language; Birkhoff's theorems; Lös theorem and application to non-standard analysis. |
|
| Course objective : | They are twofolds. First illustrate the algebraic material studied before with the classical (finite) Galois theory, with the historically important application of an example of a polynomial whose roots cannot be calculated by radicals.
Next, give an introduction to non classical algebra, such as algebraic logic. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Basic knowledge of general algebra (groups, rings, fields and linear algebra). |
|
| Workshops : | Illustration of Galois correspondance and of the basic concepts of universal algebra. |
|
| Organization : | One semester course at the Institute of Mathematics. |
|
| Written notes : | Besides a syllabus, one can read :
a) Galois theory de Ian Steward,
b) A course in universal algebra de Burris and Sankappanavar. |
|
| Assessment : | In January (first session), one written examination (exerices only) and one oral examination (theory). In September, only one oral examination (exerices and theory). |
