    This document outlines the syllabus for an NPTEL web course on Abstract Algebra. The course covers topics like groups, normal and subnormal series, composition series, Jordan-Holder theorem, solvable and nilpotent groups. It also covers canonical forms for linear transformations, including similarity, invariant subspaces, triangular forms, nilpotent transformations and Jordan forms. Finally, the course covers field theory topics such as algebraic and transcendental field extensions, separable and inseparable extensions, normal extensions, perfect fields, finite fields, primitive elements and algebraically closed fields.
