AUXILIARY MATERIAL  FOR  COURSES

MATH 370

 Here are some sample chapters (Chapters 2-5) from the Abstract Algebra book by Charles Pinter.  However, due to the copy rights, I am unable to put more chapters.  The ordering information is available from the instructor.

1. Chapter 2  (Operations)
2. Chapter 3  (Definition of Groups)
3.  Chapter 4 (Elementary Properties of Groups)
4.  Chapter 5  (Subgroups)
 

COPIES  OF  TRANSPARENCIES

1. Group Definition
2. Examples and Non-Examples of Groups
3.  Power Set of a Given Set
4.  The Principle of Mathematical Induction (Basic Version)
5.  How to use Mathematical Induction to do two problems in Group Theory (related to commuting elements)
6.  Two related problems on subgroups
7.  Given that H and K are two subgroups of G.  Prove that the intersecton of H and K is a subgroup, and also to prove that  HK is a subgroup provided that G is abelian
8.  The center Z(G) of  given group G
9.  The centralizer of an element in a  group G
10.  A certain subgroup of the direct produt group G X H
11. G  is any abelian group, and H is any subgoup of G.  Let K be the elements of G whose squares are in H. Then prove that K is a subgoup of G
12. The homomorphic image of any subgroup is also a subgroup (C3, page 143)
13. The center of any group is a normal subgroup of that group (D3, page 143)
14. The intersection of any two normal subgroups is also a normal subgroup ( A special case of D6, page 143)

SPECIAL  NOTE:At this point, I have done most of your homework problems, i.e. E1, pg 99 (in class), E3, pg 99 (in class), G1, pg 100 (in class),  B3, pg 142 (in class), C2, pg 143 (in class), C3, pg 143 (home page), D2, pg 143 (in class), D3, pg 143 (home page), D6, pg 143 (home page).  This is a total of 9 problems, and consists of most of the assigned problems on the Chapters 9 and 14.  Please study very hard for the test and I will be available on Monday to answer some more.  Some of the key words that you can study, but NOT LIMITED TO, are, injection, surjection, bijection, permutation, Symmetric Group, Group of Symmetries, group homomorphism, monomorphism, epimorphism, isomorphism, automorphism, endomorphism, kernel of a homomorphism, normal subgroup, center of a subgroup, etc.  The test will cover the material taught through last Tuesday (April 4), and Thursday (April 7) I gave a good review.  GOOD LUCK TO EACH ONE OF YOU ON THE TEST!
