Learn the basics of abstract algebra
Model the card game SET with pure math and Python

Class Logistics:

We will meet from 4-6 pm at Math Sciences 6229

Class Plan:

We now study objects that have nice notions of addition and multiplication: fields. The primary examples we focus on are the modular finite fields.

Handouts will be posted after the lesson.

Required Resources:

Have your children bring a pencil and eraser.

No computers or associated accessories should be brought.

The SET card game is not needed for this lesson.

Homework Due:
