Title of the course: Projective Geometry
Instructor: Prof. Michel Lavrauw

Dates: 12-25 August 2019
Prerequisites: The students are assumed to be familiar the basic notions from algebra such as matrices, vector spaces, fields, rings, and groups.
Level: Graduate, advanced undergraduate
Abstract: We will start from first principles and treat the basics of projective geometry over fields. On the way we will touch upon the axiomatic approach to the subject, its connections to the theory of projective planes, incidence geometry and Tits buildings. Some first examples leading towards concepts from algebraic geometry will also be given.
