Product Description
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.

There are many good books on the subject of algebraic geometry, so what was the use of one more - asks the author in the preface to this book. But there are none -at the UG level- which for the first time reveal to the younger mathematicians the secrets of this vast and growing subject. The book treats every new concept with the rigour that keeps in mind the level it is meant for, and yet maintains its mathematical "beauty" - setting firmly the basics for those who would want to take up this course at an advanced level as well as keeping the more casual mathematics reader interested.
