Groups and Rings
FSI-SG0 Acad. year: 2025/2026 Winter semester
In the course Groups and rings, students are familiarised with selected topics of algebra. The acquired knowledge is a starting point not only for further study of algebra and other mathematical disciplines, but also a necessary assumption for a use of algebraic methods in a practical solving of number of problems.
