The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning objectives
The goal of the course is to introduce the basic notions and techniques of algebraic geometry including the relevant parts of commutative algebra, and create a platform from which the students can take off towards more advanced topics, both theoretical and applied, also in view of a master's thesis project. The fist part of the course provides some basic concepts in commutative algebra, such as localization, Noetherian property and prime ideals. The second part covers fundamental notions and results about algebraic and projective varieties over algebraically closed fields and develops the theory of algebraic curves from the viewpoint of modern algebraic Geometry. Finally, the student will be able to deal with some applications, as for instance Gröbner basis or cryptosystems on elliptic curves over finite fields.
Prerequisites and basic notions
The students will be expected to have passed a first course in abstract Algebra course equivalent to the second year of the Applied Mathematics degree.
Bibliography
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final mark will be awarded on the basis of the oral exam, with an extra point awarded to those students who achieve 50% or higher in the weekly exercise sheets.
