Vorkurs über kommutative Algebra

This is a short course in commutative algebra, designed to prepare for the course Algebraic Geometry 1, being offered this semester. We will cover much but not all of the material from Algebra 2, in a somewhat condensed form. We will meet twice a day for lectures and once a day in a problem session. For a detailed program, please see the  Commutative Algebra Schedule . As the course will move very quickly, it will be necessary for you to have read the chapters of the text to be covered that day before attending the lecture if you want to keep pace with the course.

Schedule

We will meet 06.-09.10 and 12.-16.10.

Lectures: 10-12 Uhr, 14-16 Uhr
Problem session: 16-18 Uhr
Room: WSC-N-U-2.02
