Contents

From [MAT-41-11-K-7] Computer Algebra:
  • normal forms and standard bases of ideals and modules,
  • syzygies, free resolutions and the proof of the Buchberger criterion,
  • computation of normalization of Noetherian rings,
  • computation of primary decomposition of ideals,
  • Hilbert function,
  • Ext and Tor.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students have gained advanced knowledge in the theory of computer algebra. They know how problems from commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and their practical applications translate to a computer algebra system and how they can be solved by using algorithms. Moreover, they are able to program advanced algorithms of computer algebra. They understand the proofs presented in the lecture and are able to comprehend and explain them.

By completing the given exercises, the students have developed a skilled, precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and techniques taught in the lecture. In addition, they have learnt how to apply these techniques to new problems, analyze them and develop solution strategies independently or by team work.
