Students that haven't taken a course on vectorspacescan still enrol, given my permission, but are advised to catch up onthismaterial by reading Dummit and Foote Sections 11.1 - 11.4).Note: This course is normally takenby honours students, though I do not consider that a requisite. One cantherefore expect it to be exciting, inspiring but also challenging.Text Book:* Dummitand Foote/ Abstract Algebra(Third Edition), Wiley.Other texts (on reserve at Schulich):* M.
