Summary |
---|
Selected topics of general algebra constitute content of course Algebra. Possibilities of using this knowledges to solve some practical problems are demonstrated here. Students have the opportunity to obtain basic familiarity with mathematical apparatus, which stands behind the above mentioned applications. So they can understand how these applications work in practice. |
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
---|
After passing the course the student will be familiar with the definitions of basic concepts selected theory of algebraic structures and relationships between them. He will understand their significance and will be able to take advantage of their knowledge to solve simple algebraic structures theory tasks. He will also understand the importance of these concepts for the solution of the selected application roles, so that he could formulate a practical role in the language of group theory, solve the problem using theory and tools to interpret the outcome in the context of the original task. |
