Course Overview

The ‘Computational Commutative Algebra’ certification course is an elective course for the students to develop their understanding of the computation of the rings, ideals, and modules with the help of a computer. This course enables students to get an overview of commutative algebra with a focus on the computations and the techniques behind them. This free online training course is provided by the Swayam education portal along with the National Program for Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL). The classes for this course are conducted online for a period of twelve weeks.

The students of this program are led by the instructor, Prof. Manoj Kummini from the Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI). In this course, candidates will get a theoretical and hands-on experience with the computational tool Macaulay2. This program can be downloaded and installed locally or can also be worked with the online version for smaller computations.

The ‘Computational Commutative Algebra’ online training program ensures an E-Certificate and credit points after completing the course and the assessments successfully.
