MTH721 : Commutative Algebra

Course Overview

Course Synopsis

This course is a comprehensive introduction to commutative algebra. It is meant to give students a foundation for further studies in algebra, combinatorics and algebraic geometry. You will understand algebra can be applied to other important areas of sciences.

Course Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

  • Gain familiarity with the polynomial ring and be able to perform basic operations with both elements and ideals.
  • Use computational tools, especially Gr?bner bases and the Buchberger algorithm, to solve problems in polynomial rings; for example the ideal membership problem, or finding solutions to polynomial equations.
  • State accurately and be able to explain the proofs of the main results in the class without access to notes or other resources.
