Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews:"This book is really a modern classic in the textbook literature in both commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. ... Professor Kunz has provided a fairly special and unique introductory textbook of timeless value. Further generations of students and instructors will certainly profit a great deal from this masterpiece of mathematical expository writing." (Werner Kleinert, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1263, 2013)An excellent text for a student who wants to learn the basic facts from commutative algebra and algebraic geometry... Many examples and exercises complete the text.-Revue Roumanie de Mathematiques Pures et Appliquees An excellent introduction to the subject... The center of gravity lies in commutative algebra, and this book can serve as a preparation for more advanced topics. The presentation is very clear and the theory is accompanied by numerous interesting exercises...This is a highly recommended text for students and lecturers.-MathematicaOutrageous as it may sound this is the first really introductory book written about the new algebraic geometry of the sixties. At last something that we can give our students without cautionary words, and where we ourselves can learn basic concepts that cut across the party lines of mathematics.-Gian-Carlo Rota in Advances in Mathematics (1991) Read more...
