Introduction
This is a course in theory of schemes. Looking back, we will forge a
connection between the Grothendieck theory of schemes and the
classical varieties studied in Math 672. Looking ahead, we will
indicate some of the applications of schemes to classical algebraic
geometry as well as to number theory.
