This lecture is part of an online course on commutative algebra, following the book
"Commutative algebra with a view toward algebraic geometry" by David Eisenbud.

We define local complete intersection rings as regular local rings divided by a regular sequence. We give a few examples to illustrate this. In particular we use Fitting ideals to give examples of Gorenstein rings that are not local complete intersection rings.
