Toric sheaves 3 Result of study / competences: On the example of toric varieties students get profound practical knowledge of how to deal with particular varieties. They learn how to use different methods of algebraic geometry, which enables them to deepen in this area and its applications. During the discussion of the homogeneous coordinate rings they get to know areas of algebra, which forms the theoretical basis for implementation of computer algebra.
