"Schemes in general"

We will introduce general schemes, and define important notions such as subschemes, local rings of schemes at a point, and morphisms. If time permits, we will also describe the gluing of arbitrary schemes by open subsets. This talk closely follows section I.2 of Eisenbud-Harris (with some necessary sheaf theory from I.1 which was omitted from the last talk for time).
