Contents
Basic algebraic or homological invariants of commutative rings are introduced. Methods for their analysis and their behaviour under classical ring constructions are investigated. Central results of the theory of commutative rings are presented.
Qualification Goals
Students can
- understand and explain basic properties of commutative rings,
- use algebraic or homological methods for the analysis of commutative rings,
- understand and apply construction methods of commutative rings.
They deepen
- the practice of mathematical working 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 dem Modul Algebra vermittelt werden
Applicability
Module imported from M.Sc. Mathematics.
It can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)
- B.Sc. Mathematics
