Description
Springer A Course In Commutative Algebra 2011 Edition by Kemper G
This textbook offers a thorough, modern introduction into commutative algebra. It is intented mainly to serve as a guide for a course of one or two semesters, or for self-study. The carefully selected subject matter concentrates on the concepts and results at the center of the field. The book maintains a constant view on the natural geometric context, enabling the reader to gain a deeper understanding of the material. Although it emphasizes theory, three chapters are devoted to computational aspects. Many illustrative examples and exercises enrich the text._x000D_ Table of contents :- Introduction.- Part I The Algebra Geometry Lexicon: 1 Hilbert's Nullstellensatz; 2 Noetherian and Artinian Rings; 3 The Zariski Topology; 4 A Summary of the Lexicon.- Part II Dimension: 5 Krull Dimension and Transcendence Degree; 6 Localization; 7 The Principal Ideal Theorem; 8 Integral Extensions.- Part III Computational Methods: 9 Groebner Bases; 10 Fibers and Images of Morphisms Revisited; 11 Hilbert Series and Dimension.- Part IV Local Rings: 12 Dimension Theory; 13 Regular Local Rings; 14 Rings of Dimension One.- References.- Notation.- Index.
