Description and Goals
This is the second semester of the Mathematics Department’s PhD. level algebra sequence. Topics to be covered: commutative ring theory, multilinear algebra, structure of noncommutative rings, transcendental extensions, and some elementary homological algebra. Further topics may be added as time and interest permits.
As in last semester’s course, there is no one required text, but the student can use either Lang’s or Hungerford’s Algebra. I will also make some use of Matsumura’s Commutative Ring Theory.
