Syllabus

This course introduces the language and foundational concepts of modern algebraic geometry. We begin with the study of affine and projective varieties, and algebraic morphisms. The second half of the course will provide a first look at schemes. We will in particular introduce quasi-coherent sheaves and sheaf cohomology. For the sake of a more geometrical understanding, we will limit formal proofs, and favour worked examples.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, students will have worked through a number of classical examples in algebraic geometry, and be able to yield the language of schemes.
