Product Description
Algebraic geometry, central to pure mathematics, has important applications in such fields as engineering, computer science, statistics and computational biology, which exploit the computational algorithms that the theory provides. Users get the full benefit, however, when they know something of the underlying theory, as well as basic procedures and facts. This book is a systematic introduction to the central concepts of algebraic geometry most useful for computation. Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics and researchers in application areas, it focuses on specific examples and restricts development of formalism to what is needed to address these examples. In particular, it introduces the notion of Groebner bases early on and develops algorithms for almost everything covered. It is based on courses given over the past five years in a large interdisciplinary programme in computational algebraic geometry at Rice University, spanning mathematics, computer science, biomathematics and bioinformatics.

The book at least cracks the door open? June 6, 2008

This book seems like a breath of fresh air in a very stale
area of mathematics. He provides an opening that my other book
on the area didn't:Algebraic Geometry.
If it wasn't that he uses terms like 'Ideal' without any real
definition, I would have given the book five stars.
I shopped really hard before buying this book
and read the index and table of contents online.
For once I'm not disappointed. I have four pages turned down from my first read through and it may take some more time and study to
get more out of it, but it does seem to be an honest teaching effort
in print. I say that it well done.
