O some comments

below are the lecture notes and videos for the 2009 commutative algebra class, which i am teaching jointly at san francisco state university (usa) and the universidad de los andes (colombia).
i was a bit hesitant to post all of this for anyone to see. everyone makes mistakes when they teach, but not everyone immortalizes them on the internet. :) but i decided the lectures might be useful to people so i posted them anyway. if they have been helpful to you, please let me know how you are using them - drop me an email to federico at math dot sfsu dot edu. this may help me to improve them in the future.
* an important request *: please either stream the lectures from stream.sfsu.edu or download them only one at a time - our server can't handle it otherwise!





O lecture videos

You can stream the lecture videos at stream.sfsu.edu. You will need a realmedia player. (Thanks to Arek Goetz!)
You can also download the most recent lectures. I will post them as they become available:
