Exam

Here you find a list of questions for the preparation of the exam. You should be able to answer them in detail and discuss concepts related to them.

Content and Literature

This course is an introduction to Algebraic Geometry (algebraic varieties and schemes).

The main reference for the course is
* I. R. Shafarevich, Basic Algebraic geometry 1 & 2, Springer-Verlag.

For the exercises we will also use
* Joe Harris, Algebraic Geometry, A First Course, Graduate Texts in Mathematics, Springer.

There are also some very good texts that are freely available online. The two following are recommended:
* J.S. Milne, Algebraic Geometry (mainly about abstract algebraic varieties - schemes only appear in the very end)
* Ravi Vakil, Foundations of Algebraic Geometry (quite abstract)

Further readings:
* Robin Hartshorne, Algebraic Geometry, Graduate Texts in Mathematics, Springer.
* Ulrich Görtz and Torsten Wedhorn, Algebraic Geometry I, Advanced Lectures in Mathematics, Springer.
* Jean Gallier and Stephen S. Shatz, Algebraic Geometry
