Techniques include the use of Gröbner bases and development of Koszul resolutions. When the quadratic algebra is Koszul, we provide the associated linear resolution of the field. When not Koszul, we describe the maps of the resolution up to the instance of nonlinearity.In CopyrightKoszul algebraquadratic algebramonomial generatorsDissertationhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-7598-162247/
