Course Description | This course covers some fundamental topics about algebraic varieties. Projective geometry is also introduced and as a final topic homogeneous invariants of finite groups are studied. Algebraic geometry is a central topic which has tight connections with number theory, singularity theory, Diophantine problems. Prerequisites for this course are abstract algebra and multivariate calculus. |
