1. Ring of polynomials and its properties: Functional and algebraic definition from the structural point of view. 2. 3. Divisibility of polynomials over a general field: Properties of the structure (T x , +, ) concerning divisibility. 4. Properties of polynomial roots: Root of a polynomial, multiplicity of the root, the Bezout theorem, the Horner scheme, derivative of a polynomial and its application, the Basic Theorem of Algebra, decomposition of polynomials to product of irreducible ones over Q, R and C, the Viéte theorem, methods of root solving of polynomials. 5. Algebraic solvability of algebraic equations: Extension of fields using radicals, algebraic solvability of algebraic equations with respect to degree. 6. Numerical methods of solving algebraic equations: Essence of numerical methods, basic methods of separation and aproximation of real roots.
