"An Introduction to Schemes"

The goal of this talk is to present an overview of Section II.2 of Hartshorne. In particular, I will introduce our main objects of study for this seminar: schemes. I will define what these objects are and study some examples of schemes. If time permits, the second half of the seminar will be devoted to solving some problems from this section of Hartshorne.
