    1. Ordered fields and real closure
    2. Semialgebraic sets
    3. Quantifier elimination
    4. Applications of quantifier elimination
    5. Stellensätze


    Organization and credits

    Lectures and exercises are in person. Lecture notes and exercise sheets will be posted on this MyCourses page after the lectures of each week. You are nevertheless encouraged to take your own notes during class.

    The course is worth 5 credit points which are earned by regular participation in the lectures and exercise sessions and by getting at least 60% of points on homework problems. You should be ready to present any of your solutions during the exercise sessions. Homework due on Thursday in week n+1 is based on the lectures of Monday and Tuesday in week n. Submit your solutions to the corresponding MyCourses assignment by Thursday noon.
