  Course notes:
  
  
  • Graded rings and modules. These are some notes based on a five-week course I taught in the summer of 1993. (32 pages)
  • Introduction to local cohomology. These are notes from a 1999 summer course. The notes were recently put into TeX by Laura Lynch.
  • Math 901/902. These are notes written up by Laura Lynch on my Math 901-902 course given in 2006-2007. (95 pages)
