OVERVIEW

Language: English

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The goal of the course is to introduce fundamental and computational aspect of  commutative algebra.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The aim is to introduce the basic notions of commutative algebra as, e.g., noethrerian ringsand modules, and their computational aspects via the introduction of Groebner bases. 

PREREQUISITES

Basic algegra (groups and rings).

TEACHING METHODS

Teaching style: In presence+computational sections with the use of symbolic computation packages.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

1) - Rings, ideals and modules. Noetherian rings and the Hilbert basis theorem. Polynomials: The ring K [x_1, ..., x_n] of polynomials with coefficientsin a field.

2) Grobner Bases  and the Buchberger algorithm. Systems of polynomial equations and elimination theory. Syzygies and intersection of ideals.

3) Computations with system of Symbolic computations.

 

RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY
