Introduction to commutative algebra/ M.F. Atiyah & I.G. MacDonald

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: Addison-Wesley Series in MathematicsPublication details: Boca Raton: CRC Press, 2019Description: viii, 128 pages; 20 cmISBN:
  • 9781138329607(hbk.)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23 512.44 AT872
Contents:
Rings and ideals -- Modules -- Rings and modules of fractions -- Primary decomposition -- Integral dependence and valuations -- Chain conditions -- Noetherian rings -- Artin rings -- Discrete valuation rings and Dedekind domain -- Completions -- Dimension theory
Summary: First Published in 2018, this book grew out of a course of lectures given to third year undergraduates at Oxford University and it has the modest aim of producing a rapid introduction to the subject. It is designed to be read by students who have had a first elementary course in general algebra. On the other hand, it is not intended as a substitute for the more voluminous tracts such as Zariski-Samuel or Bourbaki. It has been concentrated on certain central topics, and large areas, such as field theory, are not touched. In content rather more ground is covered than Northcott and the treatment is substantially different in that, following the modern trend, it has been put more emphasis on modules and localization.
