Algebraic Geometry

3 credits · Graduate Programs

The objective of this course is to provide an introduction to modern algebraic geometry sufficient to allow students to read research papers in their fields which use the language of schemes. Topics will include Spectra of rings; the Zariski topology; affine schemes; sheaves; ringed spaces; schemes; morphisms of finite type; arithmetic schemes; varieties; projective varieties; finite morphisms, unramified morphisms; etale morphisms. Prerequisite(s): Admission to a graduate program in Mathematics and Statistics or consent of the Department.
