Not Available. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)M80: An introduction to the theory of groups in Splash Fall 15 (Oct. 10, 2015)
A group is an algebraic structure that consists of a set of elements combined with a group operation and satisfying some group axioms. We'll build an intuition for what a group is, through exploring symmetry groups and then prove some of its basic properties.
M81: A proof based introduction to number theory in Splash Fall 15 (Oct. 10, 2015)
Crash course on number theory! Topics will include fundamental theorem of arithmetic, a proof that there are infinitely many primes, modular congruences, Fermat's little theorem, Euler's theorem, Wilson's theorem. The "lecture" will hopefully be followed by a group problem solving session (given that there is enough time)
