The course deals with computer algebraic aspects of polynomial rings by means of the theory of Gröbner bases. The following topics and results are covered: ideals, Hilbert's basis theorem, affine varieties, Hilbert's nullstellensatz, monomial orderings, Gröbner bases, Buchberger's algorithm, elimination, quotient rings. The course also includes an introduction to a modern computer algebra system (CAS) with focus on how to use it to solve applied problems from graph theory, theoretical computer science, and optimization.
