    Course Description

    This course is an introduction to abstract algebra with applications in cryptography. Topics studied include groups and rings, polynomial arithmetic and the division algorithm, and congruencies.

    Prerequisite: Math 1203 Linear Algebra for Scientists and Engineers with a grade of C- or higher.

    The content is created by Pamini Thangarajah and her winter 2019 MATH 2101 class under the supervision of Pamini Thangarajah to use in MATH 2101 at Mount Royal University. Updated in winter 2021 & then Fall 2023.
