    This document is the syllabus for a Spring 2008 Introduction to Modern Algebra course. It outlines the course objectives of teaching mathematical proofs through studying algebraic structures like congruence, rings, and fields. Students will complete daily homework assignments and two midterm exams worth 100 points each, along with a final exam worth 150 points. Grades will be determined from these assessments, with a total of 400 possible points and letter grades assigned based on the following ranges: A (360-400), B (320-359), C (280-319), D (240-279), F (0-239). The course will cover topics like arithmetic, modular arithmetic, rings, polynomials, and groups.

    Instructor: Dr. Birne Binegar 430 Mathematical Sciences Tel. 744-5793 Email: binegarmath.okstate.edu Homepage: www.math.okstate.edu/binegar 9:30 - 10:20, AGH HES 331 Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 2:00 - 3:00, MS 430 Abstract Algebra, Second Edition, by Thomas W. Hungerford, Brooks/Cole, 1997 Calculus II The main purpose of this course is to teach students how to read, write, and understand mathematical proofs. In the course of doing so, students will study basic algebraic structures (congruence, rings, elds, etc.) as well as their various manifestations in integer and polynomial arithmetic. Homework problems will be assigned daily in class. All the homework assigned during a given week will be due at the beginning of the rst class of the following week. There will be two midterm examinations worth 100 pts each and one nal examination worth 150 pts.
