About this book

This textbook is an introduction to algebraic geometry that emphasizes the classical roots of the subject, avoiding the technical details better treated with the most recent methods. It provides a basis for understanding the developments of the last half century which have put the subject on a radically new footing. Based on lectures given at Brown and Harvard, the book retains an informal style and stresses examples. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
