Content

The lecture follows very closely the lecture notes by Andreas Gathmann. In particular it covers

Prerequisites

Properties of commutative rings and modules over them (as covered by the lecture Commutative Algebra).

Format

The lecture is offered in a flipped classroom setup:

Exercises

The new exercises will be posted here on Fridays. We expect you to look at the problems over the weekend and to prepare questions for the exercise class on Monday.

Please hand in your solutions by the following Friday at 12:00 in your assistant's box in HG J68. Your solutions will usually be corrected and returned in the following exercise class or, if not collected, returned to the box in HG J68.
