Notes taken while studying Commutative Algebra, mostly from Atiyah \& MacDonald book \cite{am} and Reid's book \cite{reid}. For the exercises, I follow the assignments listed at \cite{mit-course}.
Usually while reading books and papers I take handwritten notes in a notebook, this document contains some of them re-written to $LaTeX$.

while having $M_1\neq M_2$.
\end{proof}
\begin{ex}{R.3.3}
Let $A$ a ring, $I_1, \ldots, I_k$ ideals such that each $A/I_i$ is a Noetherian ring.
Prove that $\bigoplus A/I_i$ is a Noetherian $A$-module, and deduce that if $\bigcap I_i =0$ then $A$ is also Noetherian.
\end{ex}
\begin{proof}
\begin{enumerate}[i.]
\item by Corollary \ref{R.3.5} (i), if $M_i$ Noetherian modules, then $\bigoplus M_i$ is Noetherian.
$\Longrightarrow$ thus $\bigoplus A/I_i$ is Noetherian.
\item Take the canoncial homomorphism
$$\phi: A \longrightarrow\bigoplus_{i=1}^n A/ I_i$$
by $\phi(a)=(a+I_1, a+I_2, \ldots, a+I_n)$.
$\phi$ is injective: $ker(\phi)=\{ a \in A | a \in I_i \forall i \}$.
Since we're given $\cap I_i =0$, then $ker(\phi)=\cap I_i$, and $\phi$ is injective.
Thus, $\phi$ is the isomorphism $A \cong im(\phi)$, where $im(\phi)$ is an $A$-submodule of $\bigoplus A/I_i$.
We know that any submodule of a Noetherian module is Noetherian, thus, since
\begin{itemize}
\item$A/I_i$ is Noetherian by hypothesis of the exercise
\item$A \cong im(\phi)$
\item$im(\phi)$ is an $A$-submodule of $\bigoplus A/I_i$
\end{itemize}
then, $A$ is Noetherian.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proof}
\begin{ex}{R.3.4}
Prove that if A is a Noetherian ring and M a finite A-module, then there
exists an exact sequence $A^q \stackrel{\alpha}{\longrightarrow} A^p \stackrel{\beta}{\longrightarrow} M \longrightarrow0$.
That is, M has a presentation as an A-module in terms of finitely many generators and relations.
