textbooks:

Model Theory and Algebraic Geometry: An introduction to E. Hrushovski's proof of the geometric Mordell-Lang conjecture

Course Content:

The goal of this course will be to develop the model theoretic and algebraic geometric understanding necessary to approach Hrushovski's proof of the geometric Mordell-Lang conjecture.
I hope that the course will have students with some logic background and also some with some algebraic geometry/number theory background. I will not assume prior knowledge of either.
