Dr. Michael Miller has announced the topic for his Fall math class at UCLA Extension: Algebraic Geometry!!Yes math fans, as previously hinted at in prior conversations, we'll be taking a deep dive into the overlap of algebra and geometry. Be sure to line up expeditiously as registration for the class won't happen until July 31, 2017.While it's not yet confirmed, some sources have indicated that this may be the first part of a two quarter sequence on the topic. As soon as we have more details, we'll post them here first. As of this writing, there is no officially announced textbook for the course, but we've got some initial guesses and the best are as follows (roughly in decreasing order):* Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms: An Introduction to Computational Algebraic Geometry and Commutative Algebra (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) 4th ed. by David A. Cox, John Little, and Donal O'Shea* Algebraic Geometry: An Introduction (Universitext) by Daniel Perrin* An Invitation to Algebraic Geometry (Universitext) by Karen E. Smith, Lauri Kahanpää, Pekka Kekäläinen, William Traves* Algebraic Geometry (Dover Books on Mathematics) by Solomon Lefschetz (Less likely based on level and age, but Dr. Miller does love inexpensive Dover editions)For those who are new to Dr. Miller's awesome lectures, I've written some hints and tips on what to expect.

(Yes, there are dozens of people like me who will take almost everything he teaches--he's that good. This class, my 22nd, will be the start of my second decade of math with him.)+Rama Kunapuli, +Dave Snead http://boffosocko.com/2017/07/25/introduction-to-algebraic-geometry-ucla-extension/
