A first quadrant spectral sequence is a mathematical tool used in homological algebra and algebraic topology that organizes the computation of derived functors in a systematic way, particularly when dealing with sheaf cohomology. This type of spectral sequence is structured to converge in the first quadrant of a bi-graded setting, where both indices are non-negative, allowing for an efficient way to compute higher cohomology groups.
congrats on reading the definition of first quadrant spectral sequence. now let's actually learn it.
