Elementary proof of the Riemann—Roch Theorem

Sammanfattning: This thesis will cover an elementary proof of the Riemann–Roch Theorem for planecurves. We will introduce the notions of divisors, which is a convenient way of com-puting multiplicities of rational function, then continuing by introducing differentials.Furthermore we will introduce the K-vector space L(D), consisting of rational func-tions which are controlled by a divisor D. This is followed by presenting some moreresults before we arrive at an elementary proof of the Riemann–Roch Theorem.
