Introduction |
We will first introduce Summer UMS and then decide on the logistics for the next weeks. We will go over some potential textbooks we could cover and then pick one by vote. Every member will then have the opportunity to sign up to give a talk.

Review of Linear Algebra and Group Theory | We review key definitions and results in linear algebra and group theory that will be relevant when studying representation theory, including eigenvalues and eigenvectors, the definition of a module, normal subgroups and quotient groups, and the first isomorphism theorem. If time permits, we will also give a precise definition of a representation of a group, and an example. |
