  • This page contains informations and pdf-files for this lecture and its exercise class.
  • Homological algebra is, to put it very briefly, the theory of abelian categories and the functors between them. It has played a very important role in algebraic topology. Its influence has gradually expanded and nowadays plays a vital role in commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory, representation theory, mathematical physics, operator algebras, complex analysis, and in the theory of partial differential equations.

  • Here is a syllabus and a bibliography available.
