 Syllabus


Short description: We will study the properties of schemes.
Audience: Although this is part II of a lecture series,
it is no problem to join in at the start of the semester.
                    In the previous semester, we studied varieties, and schemes are a generalization of these spaces.
  We will start with a short review,
                    but the theory of schemes will be built from the ground up, so that stricly speaking no knowledge of varieties is necessary.
                    It is of course useful.


News:  HW5 is up, as is the final homework. Do read through the read/attempt sections, they contain valuable  facts, especially III 4.11.  Dates changed.
