Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course is an introduction to basic commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. Algebraic geometry is a very large subject, so in this course we will mostly focus on its language, which can then serve as a basis for deeper studies.
Algebraic geometry is a powerful approach to geometry based on the idea to represent spaces by algebraic equations. Various geometric concepts are interpreted in commutative algebra. So the subjects of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry will go in parallel. We will introduce the necessary concepts from commutative algebra such as commutative rings, ideals, prime ideals, and their geometric interpretation. We will consider algebraic geometric notions of smoothness and dimension. We will consider affine and projective varieties. Many examples will be illustrated with the help of computer calculations.
