PascGalois Abstract Algebra Classroom Resources

The PascGalois project at www.pascgalois.org consists of applets, stand-alone Java programs, and supporting material for classroom teaching of Abtract Algebra and Number Theory as they occur in undergraduate mathematics courses, undergraduate research projects, and mathematics courses for future teachers. 

The table of contents below describes the Classroom Resources available on the site for a course in Abstract Algebra.  The first (linked) item in the table of contents provides a brief description of the project and representative material to be found on the PascGalois site.

A direct link to an "active version" of this table of contents (i.e., with links to the relevant html or pdf file) is given at the bottom of this page.
