This book provides a gateway into the difficult two fields of algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. Algebraic geometry is in essence the study of the solution of equations. It is the backbone of the discipline of pure mathematics. Commutative algebra is a fundamental part of algebraic geometry, and is the study of commutative rings. The authors have made a selection from the wealth of material in the discipline and have written concise, clear definitions and synopses. The book will prove to be an ideal introductory ...

This book provides a gateway into the difficult two fields of algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. Algebraic geometry is in essence the study of the solution of equations. It is the backbone of the discipline of pure mathematics. Commutative algebra is a fundamental part of algebraic geometry, and is the study of commutative rings. The authors have made a selection from the wealth of material in the discipline and have written concise, clear definitions and synopses. The book will prove to be an ideal introductory text for graduate courses in pure mathematics involving algebraic geometry and algebraic number theory.
