Affine Varieties and the Nullstellensatz
Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz is the fundamental theorem: over an algebraically closed field, radical ideals correspond exactly to affine varieties.
WHAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN
✓Define affine varieties as zero sets of polynomials
✓State and apply Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz
✓Decompose varieties into irreducible components
✓Understand the radical ideal ↔ variety correspondence
