About

We'll take a brief look at one of the first courses you will take in university if you would like to become a math major. We will begin with the fundamentals—learning some basic set theory, working with complex numbers, and setting the definitions of rings and fields. Then we'll prove some intuitive things that we know about number theory and modular arithmetic (i.e. working with remainders). From there we will generalize our methods to other areas, such as doing "number theory" and "modular arithmetic" with polynomials and much more!

No calculus knowledge is necessary for this series; however, high-school Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 are necessary.

BTW do you know that this series would be called "Algebra 1" in university?? 😂😜

(Note: This series has been recently restarted, so if you're looking to join us, you are still in a good position to do so!)

Tutor Qualifications

I am a math major really passionate about all things algebra!

About the Tutor

Hi! I'm Kindness (aka Enci). As of summer 2024, I'm in the summer between my sophomore year and junior year of university, and I'm majoring in pure math (and just recently dropped out of computer science minor, but I do know some basic computer science). I graduated high school as part of the Class of 2023, and thanks to APs I skipped the freshman year of university. On Schoolhouse, I especially like to tutor in Enrichment as a study space host and advanced math tutor. I used to be quite active in tutoring the SAT, and I hope to return to doing that soon! In my free time (which I don't have much, lol), you can find me writing poems, playing the piano or violin, and scrapbooking.

Just a reminder that our series won't end until we have covered finite fields, quotient rings, Lagrange's theorem, and all sorts of fun stuff!
