The better is the approximation, the better is the ring, in a sense that agrees with the geometric concept of singularities: we will see in detail regular ring, Cohen-Macaulay rings, UFD's, techniques from homological algebra AIMS AND CONTENT TEACHING METHODS Teaching style: In presence SYLLABUS/CONTENT Homological algebra. Hilbert functions. Regular sequences. Grade and depth. The Koszul complex. Free resolutions. Regular rings. Cohen-Macaulay rings. Complete intersections. Gorenstein rings. Canonical modules and local cohomology. Stanley Reisner rings, determinanntal rings.
