Galois Theory was one of my year 3 pure modules, which was supposedly the toughest module of the toughest course at Leeds Uni in 2002. I found it fairly straight forward and interesting personally. I can't remember much about it other than it was to do with solving n'th degree polynomials.Promart Bloghttp://www.promartsupplements.co.uk/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406891653120763034.post-37474451728961836842010-10-15T13:30:26.410+02:002010-10-15T13:30:26.410+02:00I agree with you.

Figuring out which O.U maths modules to study is a science in itself.G4GUOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00308010887629531289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406891653120763034.post-81100466821394005712010-10-15T13:23:26.078+02:002010-10-15T13:23:26.078+02:00Thanks for your reply!

I.e. 'Pure Mathematics' = Linear Algebra + Group Theory + Real Analysis. <br /><br />The course names are a bit cult-ish. I mean if you do a Linear Algebra course at university A in country B then it is probably called MXXX - 'Linear Algebra' with a predictable contents. In the group of OU math students everyone knows the contents of MST121. Outside the OU one can only guess what is meant by a course called 'Using Mathematics'.nilo de roockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332190734914631351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406891653120763034.post-53756007429560302672010-10-15T12:01:45.992+02:002010-10-15T12:01:45.992+02:00I think you will find Galois theory is covered in ...I think you will find Galois theory is covered in Coding Theory M836 (Postgraduate course). I tried to get the O.U to let me do that module as a standalone course but they said no.G4GUOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00308010887629531289noreply@blogger.com
