Fall 2018 I taught Math 60710, Introduction to Algebraic Geometry. It is a second-year graduate course following Hartshorne. My office hours are W 10:30-11:20 and Th 2-3. There is a problem session for the course Wednesdays 2-3pm in Debartolo 304.

The homework assignments are the following Hartshorne problems:

  • Homework 1 (due Friday 8/31): I.1.1ab, I.1.2, I.1.3, I.1.6, I.2.2, I.2.10

  • Homework 2 (due Friday 9/7): I.2.9, I.2.14, I.2.15, I.3.2, I.3.14 (don't worry about showing it's "cuspidal," just find the equation), I.3.16

  • Homework 3 (due Friday 9/14): I.4.3, I.4.4bc, I.4.7, I.4.10, I.5.1, I.5.6

  • Homework 4 (due Friday, 9/21): II.1.1, II.1.2, II.1.4 (we mentioned several of these results in class, so the point is to write a careful proof), II.1.14, II.1.19

  • Homework 5 (due Friday, 9/28): II.2.3 (feel free to use any commutative algebra facts you want), II.2.7, II.2.8, II.2.11, II.2.18 (note that this last one is a long problem, so budget your time accordingly)

  • Homework 6 (due Friday, 10/5): II.3.5, II.3.6, II.3.7, II.3.8, II.3.10

  • Homework 7 (due Friday, 10/12): Prove Corollary 4.6abd and Corollary 4.8acd (Hint: It's easier to do the part a's without the valuative criterion)

  • Homework 8 (due Friday, 10/26): II.1.8, II.1.17, II.5.5ac, II.5.7, II.5.8

  • Homework 9 (due Friday, 11/2): II.1.20a, II.5.1ab, II.5.6, II.5.10 (Hint: use II.5.9)

  • Homework 10 (due Friday 11/9): I.3.17bcd, I.5.3, II.6.1, II.6.6abc

  • Homework 11 (due Friday 11/16): I.2.11, I.3.20, II.6.8ab, II.6.12

  • Homework 12 (due Friday 11/30): II.7.2, II.7.3, II.7.5, II.7.7ab
