Math 130c: Algebraic Geometry

Lectures: MWF 2-2:55pm
Location: Sloan 153
Instructor: Amin Gholampour
Email address: agholamp@caltech.edu
Office: Sloan 258
Office Hour: any time
The course description:
This is a continuation of Math 130b and 130a. We will cover Projective Morphisms, Differentials, Sheaf Cohomology, Flat Morphisms, Smooth Morphims, The Semicontinuity Theorem (if time allows). All of these can be found in the second and the third chapters of Hartshorne (the first reference below). 
*Another possibility is to spend less time on Cohomology and instead cover the basics of Algebraic Curves and Surfaces (e.g. chapters 4 and 5 of Hartshorne).
