Computational Commutative Algebra
Chennai Mathematical Institute and NPTEL via Swayam
Overview
This is an introductory course in computational commutative algebra. Topics in a typical first course in commutative algebra are developed along with computations in Macaulay2. The emphasis will be on concrete computations, more than on giving complete proofs of theorems.INTENDED AUDIENCE :Advanced undergraduate / post-graduate studentsPREREQUISITES :Introduction to basic theory of rings, modulesINDUSTRIES SUPPORT :None
