    Covers standard topics of introductory commutative algebra. Basic knowledge of abstract algebra (ring, field, ideal) is needed to understand the topics. What I find lacking is the (geometric) motivations behind many of the technique and theorems. Overall it is a very organized and easy to follow introductory course.
