Eisenboaties

Sequel to our reading group on “Commutative algebra with a view towards algebraic geometry” by David Eisenbud, this is a reading group on algebraic geometry following “The Rising Sea”) (Note: new version) by Ravi Vakil. No longer are we content with just “a view towards algebraic geometry” - we are diving in head-first!

We meet on Fridays at 2PM for talks, and Wednesdays at 1PM in Bayes 5.45 for exercises. Hybrid participation is also possible - please get in touch at Malthe (dot) Sporring (at) ed.ac.uk to be added to the mailing list.

The reading group is organized joint with Willow Bevington.
