Prerequisites
The mastermath course Algebraic Geometry 1. Basic algebra. The language of modules and categories (see for example the Intensive Course offered in mastermath). The mastermath course Commutative Algebra is (very much) recommended.
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.
Rules about Homework / Exam
40 % homework assignments, 60 % final written or oral exam.
