Course description

The course will deal with computational problems in algebra and algebraic geometry and en route will also cover basic notions and tools in algebraic geometry.

Our goal is to learn the basic notions and tools in algebraic geometry from the point of view of Groebner basis. This point of view will enable us to develop algorithms for basic computational problems in algebraic geometry and algebra.

The course will follow the book:

 Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms: An Introduction to Computational Algebraic Geometry and Commutative Algebra by Cox, Little and O'shea.

There are no formal requirements, but the students are expeted to be "mathematically mature". The course Algebra b2 is recommended as prerequisite.

The grade in the course will be based on homework, participation in class and take home exam.
