Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms An Introduction to Computational Algebraic Geometry and Commutative Algebra

This text covers topics in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra with a strong perspective toward practical and computational aspects. The first four chapters form the core of the book. A comprehensive chart in the preface illustrates a variety of ways to proceed with the material once these ch...
