Background & Purpose

In this course, we are going to give an introduction to the theory of algebraic surfaces, for motivated students who have some basic knowledge in algebra and geometry and would like to explore the beauty of algebraic geometry. Our purpose is to give a modern treatment of surface theory with minimal model theory and some other recent technique in mind, and leave the classical material as applications of general theory.
