The topic of this course will be representation theory. Prerequisites (besides linear algebra) are basics in algebra only (Algebra I). So no knowledge in Algebra II and Algebra III is required to follow the course.

The course will be held in English if requested so by BMS students. The course runs 4 hours per week over the second part of the summer semester 2017.

The start is in the week of May 22, 2017.

• There will be extra sessions on June 14th and 21st. These sessions take place from 18⁰⁰ to 19³⁰ in MA 004.
• On June 28th, there will be no lecture due to the talk of Wigderson.
• There will be another extra session on July 5th. The session will take place from 18⁰⁰ to 19³⁰ in MA 004.
