Elementary Number Theory - Introductory Abstract Algebra

This course brings in elementary number theory as a foundation for abstract algebra. We cover divisibility, prime numbers, greatest common divisors, modular arithmetic, and congruences—all with a focus on the ideas that connect naturally to groups, rings, and fields. Clean, intuitive, and designed for learners building a solid entry point into algebra through number theory.

MAT 211/213: Abstract Algebra
This learning track brings together the essential building blocks of abstract algebra in one clear, structured path. We begin with the fundamentals—set theory, relations, and mappings—to build the logical foundation for working with algebraic systems. Then we move into binary operations, groups, subgroups, and homomorphisms, helping you develop the tools to recognize structure and symmetry. The track wraps up with rings, fields, and key ideas from elementary number theory that tie everything together. Curated for second-year undergraduates in engineering and physical sciences at the University of Ibadan, but equally valuable for any learner stepping into abstract algebra for the first time. Clear, focused, and paced to guide you with both depth and intuition.
