Algebraic structures II
7.5 creditsIn this course, the student's knowledge of groups, rings and fields is deepened. One way to get a grasp of complicated algebraic structures is to break them down into simple parts. For example it is proven that every finite abelian group is a direct product of cyclic subgroups. Moreover, in ring theory, the concept of unique factorization, which holds in the ring of integers (due to the fundamental theorem of arithmetics), is generalized to more general rings. Finally, the problem of solving polynomial equations motivates the study of field extensions.
Växjö – the student city with a living campus
Just south of Växjö’s city centre you will find Linnaeus University’s campus. In Växjö, many students choose to live on campus.
Here you will have five minutes’ walking distance to friends, restaurants, lecture rooms, gym, grocery store, the University Library, nature trails, and student pubs. If you live in another part of Växjö, you can quickly get to the university by bus or bicycle.
With its 90 000 inhabitants, Växjö is one of the fastest growing cities in Sweden. Here you will find the famous Småland entrepreneurship spirit and a lot of companies, for instance within the IT industry – perfect for when you are looking for an internship position or a job.
