MA333 — Abstract Algebra
This page contains various course materials for MA333 and links to
web sites that might be of interest. Most materials are in pdf format.
Interesting and Useful Links
I'll be adding more of these as the course progresses.
- Need help with your homework?
Maybe Wolfram|Alpha can help.
- Wolfram MathWorld is more like an online encyclopedia of mathematics.
- Another nice one is PlanetMath.
For example, they have a page describing the groups of small order. It includes a reference pointing to an even longer list of small groups.
- There are, of course, tons of sites that have connections with abstract algebra, including many that have course notes, problems, and solutions. Google is your friend.
- For group theory, a nice site to visit is one created for Nathan Carter's book Visual Group Theory.
- There's also lots of free software. For example:
- Group Explorer makes various images to help understand groups.
- Sage does everything.
- There are many more: search!
- Check out the MAA's online journal Loci, which has articles and a huge collection of mathematical applets.
- The hardest way to make a million dollars: the Clay Institute's Millennium Prize Problems.
