Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry - Miles Reid - Hardcover

Algebraic geometry is, essentially, the study of the solution of equations and occupies a central position in pure mathematics. With the minimum of prerequisites, Dr. Reid introduces the reader to the basic concepts of algebraic geometry, including: plane conics, cubics and the group law, affine and projective varieties, and nonsingularity and dimension. He stresses the connections the subject has with commutative algebra as well as its relation to topology, differential geometry, and number theory. The book contains numerous examples and exercises illustrating the theory.Reid, Miles is the author of 'Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry - Miles Reid - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780521355599 and ISBN 0521355591.
