About

Commutative algebra and Algebraic geometry are twin topics. They are very much interrelated. Giving a course in algebraic geometry requires good grasp of commutative algebra.. This course will motivate students to learn more advanced topics in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. I am hoping person who are interested to learn commutative algebra and algebraic geometry will see a beautiful mixture of these two important topics in this course.

Prerequisites: Knowledge in basic algebra (groups/rings/fields/modules). Litttle knowledge in commutative algebra for e.g. prime and maximal ideals of a ring, tensor product of modules, localisation. A little knowledge in general topology is also required.
