18.727: Topics in Algebraic Geometry


Time and place: TR 1:00-2:30 in 4-153.

The course introduces schemes and cohomology of sheaves. Topics include smooth morphisms, sheaves of differentials, the spectral sequence from Cech to derived functor cohomology, and application of the general theory to curves and surfaces.

Here are my hand-written lecture notes from the course:
