Product Description
An introduction to hypergeometric functions, using new approaches in algebraic geometry, combinatorics and homological algebra. The authors present their results, relating discriminants and resultants with general hypergeometric functions and geometry of convex polytopes and triangulations.

Beautiful Book July 25, 2006

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is wonderful... There is a large portion of geometric intuition on varieties that this book provides that have made learning about dual varieties and descriminants fascinating. As a word of caution though, this book is somewhat densely packed information-wise, and has no exercises - so while really interesting, for initially learning about algebraic geometry, you're probably going to want to have supplementary materials.
