The course introduces the two main foundations of modern algebra: group theory and linear algebra. Groups consist of a set and an operation which combines members of the set. The objects in the set may be numbers, transformations, functions, matrices, etc. Groups appear everywhere in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Linear algebra deals with simultaneous linear equations, matrices, and (more generally) linear transformations. The properties of matrices and vector spaces will be examined in detail.
