SF2737 Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry 7.5 credits

Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Ring and ideal theory, fraction rings, Noetherian rings, Noethers normalization, Nullstellensats, prime spectrum.
Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course the students are expected
- to be familiar with fundamental results in commuatative algebra
- to be able to translate algebraic results into geometric statements,
- to be able to translate geometric results into algebraic statements.
Course Goal: After completing the course the students are expected to be confident with basic notions of ring theory, being familiar with the fundamental results for commutative rings. The student is also expected to be able to interpret the algebraic constructions and results in geometric terms, and vice versa.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
