Prereq: 18.706
Year: G (1)
3-0-9
Abelian categories, derived functors, spectral sequences, the functors Tor and Ext, cohomology of sheaves, homological properties of noetherian rings.
President Santorum will ban homological algebra in the Republic of Gilead.Frat Brother 3:
not what i heard; he's just gonna rename it to "heterological algebra" as part of his "sanctity of math & family values" initiative.And yes, I'm almost (but not quite) too ashamed to admit that I'm such a nerd that I broke out laughing hysterically when I read the last comment.

for the record, here's the listing from an early-70s course catalog...
18.715 Homological Algebra (a)
Prereq: 18.706
Year: G (1)

Abelian categories, derived functors, spectral sequences, the functors Tor and Ext, cohomology of
sheaves, homological properties of noetherian rings. Grothendieck topologies, the derived category of
an abelian category, local duality theory, semi-simplicial methods and a unified cohomology theory for
algebraic sturctures. (Not offered 1973-74.)
