Joint summer school on Toric varieties
venue National center of theorem sciences
Speakers
David Cox (University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
Henry Schenck (Iowa State University)
Suggested Prerequisites
● Chapters 1,2,3,4,5,8 of "Ideals, Varieties and Algorithms" and Sections 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 6.0 of "Toric Varieties" (Section 0 of these chapters is a background section that discusses algebraic geometry with no knowledge of toric varieties required).
An alternative to the Sections 0 would be "Introduction to Algebraic Geometry",
available at https://dacox.people.amherst.edu/.
● Chapters 1,2,3,4 of Ravi Vakil's excellent text "Foundation of Algebraic Geometry",
freely available at math.stanford.edu/~vakil/216blog/FOAGjun1113public.pdf
● Chapters 1 and 2 of Hartshorne's "Algebraic Geometry".
