Proseminar/Seminar Gruppentheorie

Additional information / Pre-requisites
Participants should feel comfortable with the contents of 'Linear algebra 1', and perhaps 'Linear algebra 2'. If there are interested students who have already done the 'Algebra und Zahlentheorie' module, we will also be able to find interesting topics for them.
