Algebra

Modern algebra has its roots in the mathematics of the ancient world, arising out of the basic problems of solving polynomial equations and the study of algebraic structures and operations. Following an explosive development in the twentieth century, it is now a vibrant, multi-faceted and wide-ranging branch of mathematics, having ties with nearly every other area of mathematics and the sciences.   

Our faculty bring deep expertise to the study of algebraic structures such as groups, rings, fields, and modules, advancing foundational theory and its connections to number theory, representation theory, and beyond.
