Course Objective

Algebraic geometry is a multi-discipliner science and have become a popular for the last 50 years. It aims to find a solutions to geometric problems by using algebraic techniques and also find solutions to algebraic problems by using geometric techniques.

The aim of this course is to serve as an introduction to classical algebraic geometry, and make the students familiar with concepts and techniques of algebraic geometry.
