{"product_id":"algebraic-geometry-catriona-maclean-9781848000551","title":"Algebraic Geometry: An Introduction","description":"\u003cp\u003eAimed primarily at graduate students and beginning researchers, this book provides an introduction to algebraic geometry that is particularly suitable for those with no previous contact with the subject; it assumes only the standard background of undergraduate algebra. It is developed from a masters course given at the Université Paris-Sud, Orsay, and focuses on projective algebraic geometry over an algebraically closed base field. The book starts with easily-formulated problems with non-trivial solutions and uses these problems to introduce the fundamental tools of modern algebraic geometry: dimension; singularities; sheaves; varieties; and cohomology. The treatment uses as little commutative algebra as possible, the priority being to develop an understanding of the phenomena rather than a mastery of the technique. A range of exercises is provided for each topic discussed, and a selection of problems and exam papers are collected in an appendix to provide material for further study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Perrin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848000553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848000551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.39w x 0.55d","brand":"Daniel Perrin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938968994047,"sku":"9781848000551","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6dcc2dc9-7764-4d74-8ffb-d7c50fae90eb.jpg?v=1681438735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/algebraic-geometry-catriona-maclean-9781848000551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
