Under construction. This area is a framework being built: most courses have no teaching material yet, and things may change or break. Private self-study. Not an official programme and not recognised by any ministry or school. No qualification, mark or document is issued, and “years 1 to 3” and “advanced” are names of study paths only.

Concept-level units

Units follow the syllabus order, as a recommended sequence rather than a gate.

  1. Affine varieties
  2. Ideals and geometry
  3. Morphisms
  4. Projective varieties
  5. Local perspectives
  6. Selected scheme motivation

Assessable outcome

Connect algebraic and geometric objects and analyze foundational examples.

Assessment design

  • deeper problem sets
  • reconstruction of an unfamiliar argument
  • advanced source reading
  • cumulative examination or substantial project

cumulative; uses spaced retrieval

Resources

Every title here is candidate, unverified unless marked verified. Titles were suggested while planning. Nobody has checked that they exist, what they cost or how they are licensed.
