Description
by
Igor R. Shafarevich (Author),
Miles Reid (Translator)
Shafarevich’s Basic Algebraic Geometry has been a classic and universally used introduction to the subject since its first appearance over 40 years ago. As the translator writes in a prefatory note,For all [advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate] students, and for the many specialists in other branches of math who need a liberal education in algebraic geometry, Shafarevich’s book is a must.” The third edition, in addition to some minor corrections, now offers a new treatment of the Riemann–Roch theorem for curves, including a proof from first principles.
Shafarevich’s book is an attractive and accessible introduction to algebraic geometry, suitable for beginning students and nonspecialists, and the new edition is set to remain a popular introduction to the field.
