"The Proj Construction"

The Proj construction is a fundamental tool in algebraic geometry. Following Vakil's exposition we will construct a scheme Proj S from a commutative graded ring S. Time permitting we will discuss some of the properties of Proj S and how it relates to the classical definition of projective space over a field.
