This module is part of a long-term overall curriculum plan for the Master's programme, which ensures that modules with an amount of at least 20 CP are offered in all five fields each year. The module is offered at irregular intervals as part of this overall curriculum planning.

Students master the basic contents and methods of Algebraic Number Theory, in particular they can independently carry out even very complex proofs in this field requiring a high level of mathematical expertise.
They are able to define central terms of the theory and apply them in context. They are familiar with applications of the theory and can use examples to illustrate concepts and theorems.
Furthermore, the students recognise further-reaching connections to mathematical facts already acquired. They can transfer and apply the knowledge and methods they have learnt so far to deeper mathematical problem areas. Students also expand their mathematical intuition as a result of more intensive study.
In the tutorials, students develop their ability to discuss mathematical topics and thus further prepare themselves for the requirements of the Master's module, in particular for the scientific discussion within the Master's seminar presentation and the defence of their Master's thesis.
Central topics covered included:
Solid knowledge of algebra

(exercise)
Regular completion of the exercises, each with a recognisable solution approach, as well as participation in the exercise groups for the module's lecture. As a rule, participation in the exercise group includes presenting solutions to exercises twice after being asked to do so as well as regular contributions to the scientific discussion in the exercise group, for example in the form of comments and questions on the proposed solutions presented. The organiser may replace some of the exercises with face-to-face exercises. |
