Modern Algebra

Modern Algebra. Instructor: Prof. Manindra Agrawal, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur. This course discusses topics in abstract algebra, the study of algebraic structures such as Groups, Rings and Fields. The course will focus on teaching the definitions and basic properties of these algebraic structures. And the course will see applications of the algebraic structures in mathematics and computer science. (from nptel.ac.in)
