MATH 520 - Abstract Algebraic Systems

MATH 520 Introduction Video

This is a short video introduction of each student to the class and the instructor. The student must make sure that he or she can be seen and heard in the video. This assignment also acts as a trial run for the required Video Demonstrations.

MATH 520 Video Demonstrations

Each demonstration is a concise, precise, well-practiced presentation of the proof of some given proposition in geometry. They serve as a way of demonstrating knowledge and practicing correct presentation of mathematical proofs in a simulated classroom setting.

MATH 520 Homework Portfolios (2)

Homework will be assigned weekly. Weeks 1 – 4 will be scanned into a single document and sent as a homework portfolio before the Midterm Exam in week 4. Homework from weeks 5 – 8 will be scanned into a single document and sent as a homework portfolio before the Final Exam in week 8. Many exam problems will come from the assigned homework.

MATH 520 Quizzes (7)

Each quiz will be timed, handwritten, and open-book/open-notes/open-video and will cover material from the videos in the assigned modules/weeks. The time limit for each quiz is 30 minutes. The quizzes are some combination of T/F, multiple choice and/or fill in the blank questions.

MATH 520 Exams (2)

Each exam will be timed, handwritten, and open-book/open-notes/open-video and will cover the Reading & Study material for the assigned modules/weeks. The time limit for the Midterm Exam is 1 hour and 30 minutes, while the time limit for the Final Exam is 2 hours. On all written work, the student is expected to write correct mathematics to avoid point deductions.
