Lecture on field extensions (PDF notes), required to solve assignment 3
You must submit your work before the deadline, either by bringing it to class or by emailing it to me. Typesetting your work in LaTeX will increase your mark by 20% (but it will still be capped at 100/100). The solutions will be made available immediately after the deadline, so late submissions will not be accepted.
The final exam will almost certainly take place in the form of a take-home exam.
Here is a review exam that you can use to prepare, and here are the solutions.
