1) Prerequisites
The mastermath courses Algebraic Geometry 1 and Commutative Algebra. The language of modules and categories (for example as in the Intensive Course offered as video lectures in mastermath).
2) Aim of the course
To offer basic knowledge of sheaves, schemes and cohomology. We also intend to provide more background where needed and to discuss some applications
3) Homework
Throughout the course there will be four homework assignments. These contribute for 40% in the final grade.
4) Exam
The final grade consists of 40% homework assignments and 60% written exam, with the following provisions:
- Homework will not be counted if the homework grade is < exam grade (so that homework can only increase your final grade)
- Homework will not be counted if the exam grade is < 5.0.
The same rules apply for the retake exam. Retakes for the homework assignments are not possible.
