	Objectives
	OUR AIM IS TO CONTINUE THE STUDY, ALREADY STARTED DURING THE COURSE OF ALGEBRA I, OF ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES, LIKE RINGS AND VECTOR SPACES. IN PARTICULAR FACTORIAL, PRINCIPAL AND EUCLIDEAN DOMAINS WILL BE CONSIDERED. MOREOVER FIELD THEORY WILL BE DEVELOPED TILL SOME FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF GALOIS THEORY. EXAMPLES AND APPLICATIONS WILL HELP STUDENTS TO BE ACQUAINTED TO THESE THEORIES, TO THEIR TECHNIQUES, TO THEIR MOTIVATIONS, ALSO IN VIEW OF POSSIBLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.
