The week 26.-29.2

In the lecture Feb 22, we defined the tangent space and non-singularity for points on a variety.  We will continue  Feb 26, with ch 8, including how blowup can be used to desingularize plane curves.  

28.-29 will will also discuss curves (chapter 9).

Final exam will be on March 19. and April 5.  Let me know by email, which one you choose.

Remember the deadline, March 1. to give the compulsory presentation.  I will provide a list of topics for the final exam after that deadline.
