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 chapters are covered. In addition to the fundamentals of algebraic geometryℓ́ℓthe elimination theorem, the extension theorem, the closure theorem, and the Nullstellensatzℓ́ℓthis new edition incorporates several substantial changes, all of which are listed in the Preface. The largest revision incorporates a new chapter (ten), which presents some of the essentials of progress made over the last decades in computing Gr©œbner bases. The book also includes current computer algebra material in Appendix C and updated independent projects (Appendix D).^The book may serve as a first or second course in undergraduate abstract algebra and, with some supplementation perhaps, for beginning graduate level courses in algebraic geometry or computational algebra. Prerequisites for the reader include linear algebra and a proof-oriented course. It is assumed that the reader has access to a computer algebra system. Appendix C describes features of Mapleℓ́Ø, Mathematica℗ʼ, and Sage, as well as other systems that are most relevant to the text. Pseudocode is used in the text; Appendix B carefully describes the pseudocode used. From the reviews of previous editions: ℓ́ℓℓ́ŒThe book gives an introduction to Buchbergerℓ́ℓs algorithm with applications to syzygies, Hilbert polynomials, primary decompositions. There is an introduction to classical algebraic geometry with applications to the ideal membership problem, solving polynomial equations, and elimination theory. ℓ́ŒThe book is well-written.^ℓ́ŒThe reviewer is sure that it will be an excellent guide to introduce further undergraduates in the algorithmic aspect of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry.ℓ́ℓ ℓ́ℓPeter Schenzel, zbMATH, 2007 ℓ́ℓI consider the book to be wonderful. ... The exposition is very clear, there are many helpful pictures, and there are a great many instructive exercises, some quite challenging ... offers the heart and soul of modern commutative and algebraic geometry.ℓ́ℓ ℓ́ℓThe American Mathematical Monthly

This book explores the revolutionary impact of new algorithms in algebraic geometry, particularly focusing on Gröbner bases and resultants. Aimed at nonspecialists, it introduces advanced algebraic techniques while assuming a basic knowledge of abstract algebra. The updated edition includes new sections and improved content.

This edition of the text has been revised and updated to provide readers with a thorough grounding in all aspects of banking. It has been recommended by The Chartered Institute of Banking as a revision aid for Business of Banking, Banking Operations and Elements of Banking exams.

Worcester, the second largest city in Massachusetts, is recognized as the "Heart of the Commonwealth" due to its central location. The book explores the city's unique characteristics, cultural significance, and its role in the broader context of the state. It delves into the history, development, and vibrant community that make Worcester a notable place in Massachusetts.
