Description for 3264 and All That: A Second Course in Algebraic Geometry
Paperback. Forming the basis of a second course in algebraic geometry, this book explains key ideas, each illustrated with abundant examples. Num Pages: 603 pages, 80 b/w illus. 360 exercises. BIC Classification: PBMW. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 179 x 253 x 39. Weight in Grams: 1166.
This book can form the basis of a second course in algebraic geometry. As motivation, it takes concrete questions from enumerative geometry and intersection theory, and provides intuition and technique, so that the student develops the ability to solve geometric problems. The authors explain key ideas, including rational equivalence, Chow rings, Schubert calculus and Chern classes, and readers will appreciate the abundant examples, many provided as exercises with solutions available online. Intersection is concerned with the enumeration of solutions of systems of polynomial equations in several variables. It has been an active area of mathematics since the work of Leibniz. ... Read more

Reviews for 3264 and All That: A Second Course in Algebraic Geometry
'... the book covers an important part of classical algebraic geometry with a modern point of view. It is indeed highly recommendable for a second (or a third) course in algebraic geometry| and more generally, for every mathematician interested in concrete algebraic geometry.'
