MAT 248B: Algebraic Geometry II

Spring Quarter 2026

University of California Davis
Department of Mathematics


This is the website for the course MAT248B at the Department of Mathematics at UC Davis. The course will have the textbook Algebraic Geometry by R. Hartshorne. The goal of the course is to develop the ability to manipulate sheaves and perform homological computations with them to acquire an understanding of the geometry of schemes. The course will first focus on applications to curves and surfaces, and gear towards the derived setting in the second part. See also the Department Syllabus.
