Course Objective

The aim of this course is to to introduce methods in studying commutative rings and modules over them.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Will be able to understand the motivation for commutative algebra that comes from algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory and invariant theory.
2   Will be able to use the properties of the tensor product of modules over commutative rings and tensor product of algebras.
3   Will be able to use the localization techniques.
4   Will be able to use the properties of the Noetherian and Artinian rings.
5   Will be able to use the properties of discrete valuation rings and Dedekind domains.
