General Information

Fall offered only. Introduction to algebraic geometry and computational algebra. In this course, students learn how to compute a Gröbner basis for polynomials in many variables.

Prerequisites

  • MATH 2210, MATH 2230, MATH 2940, or equivalent
  • Students will be expected to be comfortable writing proofs
  • More experience with proofs may be gained by first taking a 3000-level MATH course

Topics Covered

Covers the following applications:

  • solving systems of polynomial equations in many variables
  • solving diophantine equations in many variables, 3-colorable graphs
  • integer programming

Such applications arise, for example, in computer science, engineering, economics, and physics.
