I received the following message: —————————————- Dear Professor, In the list of non-examinable material in the book you put sections 1.1.3- 1.1.5. However section 1.1.6. seems to rely on those sections ruled out. I wasn’t sure if it was the case that you forgot to list it, or that this section is indeed examinable? ——————————————– [...]
A question came up in the algebraic geometry revision session about the relation between the roots and coefficients of a polynomial. Here is a note that summarizes the statement.
During the algebraic geometry revision session today, a question arose about the portions of the textbook that were not discussed carefully on class. So here is a list of the parts that are not examinable: section 1.1.3 section 1.1.4 section 1.1.5 section 1.3.2 chapter 5 chapter 6 If there is a result in some of [...]
Here are some questions to give you general orientation on the material you should know for the examination in algebraic geometry.

There will be revisions sessions for Math 3704 and Math M211 as follows: 3704 Wednesday, 20 April, 10:00-12:00 in Math 706 M211 Wednesday, 20 April, 14:00-16:00 in Math 706. Because of the many holidays towards the end of the month, it was hard to find any other days possible. I hope many of you can [...]
During the problem session today, I got a bit mixed up in the proof that a certain quotient ring is not a UFD. This is because I forgot the simplifying fact that the ring in question is a graded ring. Here is a discussion of the matter.
Here is the schedule for the algebraic geometry class, this week and next. Friday, 4 March, 2-4, problem session in Harrie Massey theatre. Monday, 7 March, no class. Friday, 11 March, 2-5: lectures in Math 505. Note the unusual locations.

Since sheet 3 of the algebraic geometry coursework is a bit difficult, I am setting a new due date of 28 February. We will discuss some of the problems on Monday, 21 February.
February 16, 2011 – 1:56 pm
Selected solutions to sheet one and sheet two are now available on the coursework webpage for algebraic geometry.
