Algebra IV - rings and modules

Important: 

The second week we will have a lecture on Monday, 15 September (at 10:15) in INM 201, and another lecture on Thursday, 18 September (at 08:15, instead of the exercise session) in MA A1 12. Then, we continue with the schedule prescribed by SAC, so lectures are on Mondays, and exercise sessions on Thursdays (note: no teaching on Monday 22 September, which is the reason for this change). 

Generalities:

Both the lectures and the exercise sessions will be on campus in presence.

There are LaTeX'd notes provided here on the  Moodle page of the course. 

Final grade: 

The grade will be given based on the exam. That is a you can get a 6 if you write a really good exam, and getting 60% score on the exam guarantees you at least a 4 as a final grade. 

Ed Discussion:

You can use it for questions and discussions about the material of any part of the course, including the lectures and the exercise sessions. Please do not use the Ed Discussion for other purposes.

it is important that you follow the course and the exercise session constantly, that is, you re-read the material of the previous class between two classes, and you solve every exercise on the exercise sheet.

Previous year's online material:

The videos from '21-'22 can be watched here. 

if you are interested to read more than just the course material in the topic, you can consult the following source:

• Hilton-Stammbach: A course in homological algebra
• Atiyah-MacDonald: Introduction to commutative algebra
• Eisenbud: Commutative Algebra (with a view towards algebraic geometry)
• Farb-Dennis: Noncommutative algebra

Here are exams from the courses offered in previous years together with solutions. Many parts of Question B.1. and its solutions are WRONG in the 2019-2020 exam. Please avoid it.
