Synopsis
A rough outline is as follows
- Ideals
- Localization
- Gröbner and standard bases
- Modules
- Standard Bases
- Free Resolutions
- Tensor Product
- Intersections, quotients, etc.
- Noether Normalization
- Primary Decomposition
- The Hilbert Polynomial
In all of the above connections with algebraic geometry will be
discussed. Singular
will be used extensively.
