Course Coordinator

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ENGIN MERMUT

Offered to

Mathematics (English) Mathematics (English)

Course Objective

This aim of this course is to introduce the main homological algebra techniques in abelian group theory.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Will be able to understand the group structure on the set Ext(C,A) of extensions of an abelian group A by an abelian group C. 2   Will be able to understand how the inexactness of the functor Hom is measured by the functor Ext. 3   Will be able to understand how the inexactness of the tensor product functor is measured by the functor Tor. 4   Will be able to understand the structure of cotorsion groups. 5   Will be able to understand the homological use of the proper class of pure-exact sequences of abelian groups and its generalizations.
