Algebra - Mathematics - master

This discipline is included in the Master's Degree Progam in Mathematics .

Algebra is the study of certain mathematical objects and structures of an algebraic or discrete nature. Algebra is an important part of mathematics whose methods and results can be used in such scientific fields as computer science, physics, statistics and other branches of mathematics. Master's thesis are offered in the fields of cryptography/coding theory, algebraic number theory, analysis of algorithms and homological algebra.

The program structure below indicates that at least three of six courses in the program will be courses in algebra at 3000-level.

Other relevant elective courses are MAT-3302 Elliptic curves, MAT-3810 Special syllabus and other courses in mathematics, statistics or computer science at the 2000- or 3000-level.

For further information on evaluation/examination/assesment, see individual course descriptions.

If you're interested, get in touch with Professor Trygve Johnsen, Professor Andrei Prasolov or Associate Professor Ragnar Soleng.
