Course content
1. Divisibility in integral domains. Units, irreducible and prime elements. Greatest common divisor, least common multiple. Ideal generated by a set, pricipal ideal domains. Euclidean domains, Gaussian domains. 2. Partially ordered sets. Mappings of partially ordered sets: monotone, antitone, isomorphic embedding, isomorphism. Distinguished elements: maximal, minimal, greatest, least. Lower and upper cone of a set, directed sets. Supremum and infimum, semilattices. The Zorn lemma. 3. Lattices: Partially ordered sets and algebras. Complete lattices, the fixed point theorem. Sublattices. Lattice homomorphisms and congruence relations. Quotient lattices, homomorphism theorem. Ideals (and filters) of lattices. Ideal generated by a set, principal ideals. 4. Modullar and distributive lattices. Complements and relative complements, Boolean lattices, generalized Boolean lattices. Correspondence between congruences and ideals. Boolean algebras.
