ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): (not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Learning outcomes:

Learning outcomes:

A student knows that algebraic structures, which are known, are important in a variety of mathematical theories.K_U17, K_W05, K_W03

A student knows the basic concepts of algebra and can provides appropriate examples (permutation groups, polynomial rings, fields GF(p^n)).K_W03

A student is able to formulate the most important theorems of abstract algebra, in particular the fundamental theorem of algebra. A student knows importance of this theorem.K_W04, K_W02

A student knows how to apply abstract algebra in a variety of branches of mathematics (for example, Fermat’s little theorem in number theory).K_U17

A student knows how to use the main theorems of abstract algebra to solve standard exercises.K_U17, K_U38

A student understands problems formulated in the language of abstract algebra.K_W04, K_W05

A student sees parallels between the properties of various algebraic structures.K_W04, K_W05, K_U37

A student can indicate a specific example of the use of algebra in real life (for example, in cryptography).K_U25, K_U17
