Abstract

Algebraic geometry studies geometric loci looking locally as a solution set for a system of polynomial equations on an affine space. The main feature of this subject, that it provides an algebraic explanation to various geometric properties of the figures and it the same time it give geometric intuition to purely algebraic constructions. It plays an important role in many areas of mathematics and theoretical physics, and provides the most visual and elegant tools to express all aspects of the interaction between different branches of mathematical knowledge. The course gives the flavor of the subject by presenting examples and applications of the ideas of algebraic geometry, as well as a first discussion of its technical tools.
Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be competent in basic constructions of algebraic geometry that will allow them to start studying more advanced courses in algebraic geometry or apply their knowledge to study the courses like algebraic groups, curves and surfaces.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Expected Learning Outcomes

  • Students will lean basis constructions, theorems of algebraic geometry. Also they will gain sufficient package of examples of algebraic varieties and the method of their study.
