Algebraic Curves
Algebraic geometry is the study of solutions of polynomial equations, and has close connections with other areas of mathematics.
In this course, I will give a basic introduction to algebraic varieties, focusing on using curves (the dimension one case) to illustrate the basic notions in algebraic geometry.
