Description. Math 220B is the second quarter of the year-long
graduate algebra sequence. It is an introduction to rings and
modules.
Grading. The plan is to cover Chapters 2 and 4 of Grove. Weekly
homework assignments will be given. Your grade will be determined by
homework scores (including, possibly, some quizzes), a midterm and a
final exam. The final will most likely be take-home. The weights of
each of these are as follows.
Homework/Etc. Midterm Final
50% 20% 30%
Make-ups: Make-ups for exams will only be given with
documented University-approved excuses (see University Regulations).
ADA. Students with disabilities can get assistance from the
Disabled Students Program Office (893-2668). I'm happy to work with
them and with you.
