  1. tensor products

  2. field extensions

  3. Galois theory

  4. Noetherian and Artinian rings

  5. Dedekind domains

  6. Hilbert Nullstellensatz

  7. semisimple rings

  8. algebras

Homework problems will be assigned on Thursday every other week and they will be due on Thursday two weeks later.
