Purpose of class
Understand basics on rings and modules.
Course description
A ring is an algebraic structure that generalizes integers, complex numbers, matrices, polynomials, etc. A module over a ring can be thought of as a vector space whose coefficients are extended to the ring. This course lectures basics on rings and modules. In the first half part of the course, fundamental notions in the ring theory (ideals, homomorphisms, pincipal ideal domains, unique factorization domains, etc) are introduced. In the latter half, basics on modules and elementary divisors are introduced. As applications, the fundamental theorem of finitely generated abelian groups is given. The existence of the Jordan canonical form is given from a viewpoint that is different to the course ”Linear Space”.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand and be able to explain basics on rings and modules.
  2. Understand and be able to explain basics on the division relation in a ring.
  3. Explicitly compute elementary divisors of a matrix over a Euclidean domain.
