Algebra I
Department of Mathematics, University of Toronto, Fall 2006
Agenda: Understand linear algebra, the simplest algebra there is, and come to appreciate that simplest is also the most fundamental.
Hidden Agenda: Learn (by example) how "real" math is done: abstraction and generalization, definitions, theorems and proofs.
Instructor: Dror Bar-Natan, drorbn@math.toronto.edu, Bahen 6178, 416-946-5438. Office hours: by appointment.
Classes: Tuesdays 1-3 and Thursdays 1-2 at MP 203.
 |
Teaching Assistants: Dmitry Donin, donin@math.toronto.edu, Bahen 6191, 416-978-2095 and Paul Lee, plee@math.toronto.edu, Bahen 6135, 416-978-4794.
Tutorials: Thursdays 2-4 at MP 203 if the last digit of your student number is even, and at MP 118 if it is odd. |
