Class Details
Algebraic Geometry has been at the heart of mathematics for at least two hundred years. While starting with a humble study of circles, it has influenced a tremendous amount of modern mathematics, ranging from number theory to robotics. Algebraic Geometry uses tools from almost all areas of mathematics to study shapes defined by polynomials; in this course, we will build up both theoretical and computational machinery to help in this endeavor. We will study Bezout’s Theorem for plane curves, and the geometry of more general affine and projective varieties.
