This is the first half of a full-year course on algebraic geometry. The official course syllabus asks that we cover: curves, surfaces, projective space, affine and projective varieties; rational maps; blowing-up points; the Zariski topology; irreducible varieties, divisors.
Math 8202 or instructor consent.
For the first part of the course on varieties, we will be making use of Mumford's Introduction to algebraic geometry (the "red book").
For the second part of the course on schemes, we will be using Vakil's notes for Math 216.
You are strongly encouraged to seek out your own references to supplement these! Yu-jong Tzeng posted a helpful list of them on the course webpage for last year.
There will be no exams.
The assigned problems for each week are due each Monday in-class at 10:10am, listed on this page. Students must make arrangements in advance if they will not be handing in homework on time.
We encourage you to discuss homework problems and lab assignments with your classmates, including strategies for solving different kinds of problems. However, when you actually write up your solutions, you must do this on your own.
The student conduct code and statements on many other aspects of University policy can be found through this page.
