Textbook:
Hartshorne, Algebraic Geometry,
Springer-Verlag GTM Vol 52, (1977).
(First chapter only for most of the topics we will cover.)
Recommended Textbooks:
Griffiths and Harris, Principles of Algebraic Geometry, Wiley-Interscience, (1978).
Shafarevich, Basic Algebraic Geometry, Springer-Verlag, (1977).

I will provide copies of some simple articles for some of the material in class.
Most importantly I will distribute lecture notes which will eventually become a book at the end of the semester.

| This syllabus is tentative. We may spend more time than allocated on a topic if the class is interested in the subject or if the class finds the pace fast. So we may not cover everything mentioned above. However the bare bones of the course are affine varieties, projective varieties, toric varieties and Arf rings. We will definitely cover them in detail to everybody's satisfaction. | |||
Schedule:
| MON | 09:40-10:30 | SA-Z01 |
| WED | 10:40-12:30 | SA-Z01 |
| On February 10, February 24 and March 3 we will start our Monday class at 8:30 to compensate for the 3 lost hours of week 2. | ||

Failure
to attend at least 50% of the classes or averaging
less than 40% from the two midterms will result in an FZ grade.

You can refer to my all courses page. However I have never given two similar Math 431 courses in the past. All are different as is this one.
