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.

In this (pro)seminar we will recapitulate the basics of group theory and study a few deeper properties and theorems. Possible topics are: solvable groups, nilpotent groups, representations of finite groups, the theorem of Schur-Zassenhaus, the theorems of P. Hall.
