Little silly thing, on the first slide you forgot a square on the R for the circle equation. 9:11 Funny story, just after having my geometry 1 exam (basically linear algebra) I ended up chatting a bit with my professor since I was the last person that day and while packing things up he just started to semi-jokingly list all the reasons why the complex numbers are so much better than the reals.
2:24 > _"algebraic geometry studies zero sets of polynomials"_ i guess then, that it's different than Clifford's "geometric algebra" right?? 8:22 yeah, it's definitely different
Exactly 👍. AG is quite different in spirit from geometric algebra. The latter wants to include “geometry” (mostly vectors and friends) into algebra, while AG tries to make geometry as algebraic as possible.

The way you've defined SL_n(K), as a set of particular matrices whose determinant is 1 led me to think that SL_n it's not in fact the variety, but actually the set of loci of zeroes of the determinants of these matrices is in fact the set of varieties , not SL_N(K) . Am I correct, or is there something I'm not seeing ? I'm not a mathematician, so it's important for me to get the precise idea....
Ok, let me give it a shot; say for n=2 to have easier notation. Then SL2=all vectors [a,b,c,d] in C^4 with ac-bd-1=0. All that is done is to flatten the matrix [[a,b],[c,d]] into a vector and we think of the four possible entries as variables. The determinant = 1 condition is then a polynomial equation in four variables. I hope that helps!
@@VisualMath Thanks for the answer, although it didn't addresed my question, maybe I didn't state it clearly. I understood that the determinant is a polynomial in the case, and that its zeroes constitute a variety. The point is that the zeroes of the determinant make a variety, not the SL(K). Unless the SL(K) is constitute by the zeroes of the determinant, but it's clearly the case. So, why to call SL(K) a variety ? I understood that a variety is the locus of the zeroes of a polynomial curve or surface.
@@JoaoKogler Hmm, I think I answered your question. But maybe I misunderstood your question, so let me try again, say for SL2 😀 SL2 = “matrices [[a,b],[c,d]] with ad-bc-1=0” = “points in K^4 vanishing for f(a,b,c,d)=ad-bc-1” = an affine variety That is why I would call SL2 an affine variety. Does this answer you question?
@@VisualMath Thanks, again. After watching your 4th lesson, on Idelas & Varieties, it occured to me now that maybe the locus of zeroes of the determinant of a particular SLK matrix form a variety, a geometric object, while SLK would be its algebraic counterpart, an ideal related to that variety. Well, I'm just guessing by now, I hope I'm not bothering with this.... Anyway, let me watch a bit more of your next lessons, maybe I should have not worry about the question for a while.
You are wrong !! Modern v2 of Algebraic Geometry doesnt constitute Grobner Basis , Homotopy Continuation . It is Derived Algebraic Geometry or Higher Algebraic Geometry,
@@VisualMath very much so... Perfect presentation... You're at 23k now... I'm guessing before you finish this series you will have surpassed 30k...possibly even 35k...Hopefully the RUclips algorithm does its thing 🙏🏼

Ah, didn't I say the R=1? No? Too bad 😨
Anyway, thanks for spotting 😀 I have put a warning into the description.

@@yash1152 Welcome 👍
Nicely presented!
Thanks for the feedback, that is very much appreciated ☺
I hope you will enjoy the series.

Those 14 minutes went by in a breeze.... Felt like 90 seconds.... 😢
I hope that means the video was entertaining 😂
