"Affine Schemes"

We will introduce affine schemes, the building blocks of schemes and a generalisation of affine varieties, and discuss the interesting and nontrivial geometry that can happen in them. We will briefly describe some sheaf theory in the process. This talk closely follows section I.1 of Eisenbud-Harris.
