Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to the theory of rings and modules.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Will be able to understand the basics of ring theory and the fundamental properties of modules.
2   Will be able to use category theory that are needed to discuss module categories.
3   Will be able to use the chain conditions on rings and modules, and the properties of Noetherian and Artininan modules.
4   Will be able to use projective, injective andf flat modules for the investigations in module theory.
5   Will be able to use the powerful Wedderburn-Artin structure theorems for semisimple rings.
