A second course in algebra, suitable for first year undergraduates. This course continues from MATH0005. After a short section on number theory, it has two main components. The first is an introduction to the theory of groups; the idea of a group is central to much of algebra, and pervades many areas of mathematics. The second is a continuation of the study of linear algebra started in MATH0005; linear algebra underlies much advanced pure mathematics, as well as being an important tool in applications of mathematics. In particular, determinants are introduced, and the diagonalisation of matrices is considered.
