The aim of the course:
This course introduces lattices both as partially ordered sets and as algebras. From the partial order point of view, we treat Hasse diagrammes, complete lattices, Brouwerian lattices . From the algebraic point of view, we treat the homomorphism theorems, special classes such as modular, distributive, and Boolean algebras as well as the representation theory for finite lattices and its relation to classical propositional logic.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : familiar with the notions of partially ordered sets , including lattices and Bool algebras, Free lattices and has seen the connection to various topics in algebra, analysis.1,21
PO - 2 : work with the basic concepts of lattice theory : modular lattices, distributive lattices;Boolean algebras.2,3,41
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
