Contents

Special algebraic and homological invariants of commutative rings are introduced and studied. Special constructions of commutative rings and special classes of commutative rings are investigated. The application of methods and structures of commutative algebra in other mathematical fields is exemplarily presented.


Qualification Goals

Students

  • understand specific structures of commutative rings,
  • apply methods for the analysis of special homological and algebraic invariants,
  • apply concepts of commutative algebra in other areas (e.g. combinatorics, algebraic geometry).

They deepen

  • the practice of mathematical methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof methods),
  • in the recitation class, their oral communication skills through discussion and free speech in front of an audience.

Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:

Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen und im Aufbaumodul Algebra vermittelt werden.


Applicability

The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)

  • B.Sc. Mathematics
  • M.Sc. Computer Science
  • M.Sc. Mathematics

When studying M.Sc. Mathematics, this module can be attended in the study area Specialization Modules in Mathematics.

The module can also be used in other study programs (export module).

Die Wahlmöglichkeit des Moduls ist dadurch beschränkt, dass es der Reinen Mathematics zugeordnet ist.
