III. The Objectives and Requirements of the Course(Time New Rome 12 points, total words: about 200 words)

This is a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the basic theories and methods in commutative algebra. This course will build up a foundation for students to further study of algebraic geometry and other frontier areas of pure mathematics. This course focuses on the cultivation of the students’ ability of abstract thinking and logical reasoning. Through studying this course, the students are required to be familiar with the basic theories and methods in commutative algebra, and to have a preliminary understanding of the basic ideas in algebraic geometry. They should be prepared for research in commutative algebra and related areas.
