《Advanced Algebra》Syllabus(September 1, 2005)Teacher’s name: *** Department: School of MathematicsCourse Name: Advanced Algebra I and IITeaching Hours：68+68 hr. Credits: 4+4Chinese Textbook：《Advanced Algebra》Authors：Beijing UniversityPress：Higher Education Press (3rd Edition July 2003) English Textbook：《Linear Algebra》Author：S.K.Jain, A.D.GunawardenaPress：China Machine Press(1st Edition July 2003)Teaching Aims Basic Requirements of the Course: This syllabus consists of two parts, polynomial theory and linear algebra. Linear algebra is divided into two parts; one is focused on algorithm, including the theories of determinant, linear system and matrix; the other one is space theory, including linear space, linear transformation, standard form and Euclid space, and so on.Polynomial theory is the generalization of the related contents discussed in middle school, which is the earliest and most suitable material for developing mathematical awareness. Therefore, we should take this into consideration in teaching rather than regard it simply as the preliminary knowledge for courses such as linear algebra. -matrix and Jordan canonical matrix are great theories, so the students are supposed to comprehend the beauty of mathematics, and develop mathematical quality in the course of learning the basic contents. Students will have a better understanding of the thoughts and methods of polynomial theory, the “’analytic theory” and “geometry theory” of linear algebra through the major teaching procedure (such as lectures and discussion, exercise class, homework, tutorship, etc.), which will contributes to their correct understanding of the basic concepts and proof methods, and improving their abilities of analyzing and solving problems.Terms and Total Hours: two terms, 136 hours.Form of Examination: Paper-based Test, Oral Test, and Essay WritingContentsObjectivesTeaching Methods Time DistributedChapter 1.
