These are the lecture notes for the first year UCL module MATH0005 Algebra 1. If you are reading the web version of these notes and you want a pdf copy, you can find one at this link.
In previous years, this course was taught online. Lecture videos from the last online version are available on the module’s Moodle page (only available to UCL students) and on YouTube.
I hope you enjoy the module. If you have questions or comments on the material, or if you find errors in the text, please email me at m.towers@ucl.ac.uk
You will find suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter.
