An introduction to abstract algebra | Abstract Algebra Math Foundations 213 | NJ Wildberger

How do we set up abstract algebra? In other words, how do we define basic algebraic objects such as groups, rings, fields, vector spaces, algebras, lattices, modules, Lie algebras, hypergroups etc etc??

This is a hugely important question, and not an easy one to answer. In this video we start by giving a bird's eye view of some basic examples, namely the first four kinds of objects on this list.

We will not attempt complete definitions, but just rather provide intuitive example based descriptions, using the standard thinking current in mathematics these days. In some videos, we will be looking to reorganize our understanding of all of these topics by being much more precise and careful, and utilizing our knowledge of data structures.

Screenshot PDFs for my videos are available at the website http://wildegg.com. These give you a concise overview of the contents of the lectures for various Playlists: great for review, study and summary.

My research papers can be found at my Research Gate page, at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/...

My blog is at http://njwildberger.com/, where I will discuss lots of foundational issues, along with other things.

Online courses will be developed at openlearning.com. The first one, already underway is Algebraic Calculus One at https://www.openlearning.com/courses/... Please join us for an exciting new approach to one of mathematics' most important subjects!
