Summary

Grothendieck's theory of schemes permeates modern algebraic geometry and underlies its applications to number theory, physics, and applied mathematics. In the book, concepts are illustrated with fundamental examples, and explicit calculations show how the constructions of scheme theory are carried out in practice.

The Geometry of Schemes by David Eisenbud

Grothendieck's beautiful theory of schemes permeates modern algebraic geometry and underlies its applications to number theory, physics, and applied mathematics. This simple account of that theory emphasizes and explains the universal geometric concepts behind the definitions. In the book, concepts are illustrated with fundamental examples, and explicit calculations show how the constructions of scheme theory are carried out in practice.
"A great subject and expert authors!"
Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde,June 2001

"Both Eisenbud and Harris are experienced and compelling educators of modern mathematicsThis book is strongly recommended to anyone who would like to know what schemes are all about."
Newsletter of the New Zealand Mathematical Society, No. 82, August 2001

Joe Harris is a well-known cartoonist and the originator of the Underdog character. He currently resides in New York City. This is an excerpt from the Hardcover edition.
