Formal registration prerequisites: None

Assumed knowledge: Divisibility and ideals from MA3G6 Commutative Algebra module or my book "Undergraduate Commutative Algebra".

Useful background: Material from, or an interest in:

• MA3A6 Algebraic Number Theory
• MA3G6 Commutative Algebra
• MA377 Rings and Modules
• MA3D5 Galois Theory 
• MA3H6 Algebraic Topology with basic ideas on Homology

Synergies: The material of commutative algebra has many basic and more advanced links with Algebraic Geometry and Algebraic Number Theory. The module follows Additional Resources
