Objectives and competences
Student masters basic concepts and tools of algebraic geometry.
Intended learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding: Understanding of basic concepts and theorems of algebraic geometry, and their role in some other areas.
Application: In the areas of mathematics that deal with geometric objects, in theoretical physics, and elsewhere.
Reflection: Understanding the theory on the basis of examples and applications.
Transferable skills: Formulation and solution of problems in an appropriate setup, solution and analysis of the results in examples, recognizing algebraic structue in geometric objects.
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures, exercises, homeworks, consultations
Assessment
2 midterm exams instead of written exam, written exam
Oral exam
grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
