Paul Bamberg
| Location: Science Center 310 | | Meeting time: Tu., Th., 1-2:30 or Tu., Th., 2:30-4 | | Exam group: 15, 16 | | Catalog number: 8389 |
| An introduction to finite groups, finite fields, finite geometry, discrete probability, and graph theory. A unifying theme of the course is the symmetry group of the regular icosahedron, whose elements can be realized as permutations, as linear transformations of vector spaces over finite fields, as collineations of a finite plane, or as vertices of a graph. Taught in a seminar format, and students will gain experience in presenting proofs at the blackboard. |
