Items related to An Introductory Course in Commutative Algebra (Oxford...
This book aims to be a concise introduction to topics in commutative algebra, with an emphasis on worked examples and applications. It combines elegant algebraic theory with applications to number theory, problems in classical Greek geometry, and the theory of finite fields which has
important uses in other branches of science. Topics covered include rings and Euclidean rings, the four-squares theorem, fields and field extensions, finite cyclic groups, and finite fields. The material covered in this book prepares the way for the further study of abstract algebra, but it could
also form the basis of an entire course.

Review:
`For second year students and up, I'd recommend An Introductory Course in Commutative Algebra by Charudatta Hajarnavis. It makes an excellent job of explaining a topic which is important.'
New Scientist, 3 October 1998
...would make a suitable basis for a first year course in a UK university.
`..The book could be used as the course text for an undergraduate unit at second, third or fourth level...It would also be a useful supplement to a course in general algebra or number theory.'
THES, 24 September 1999
This is a concise and nice introduction to some of the basic topics in commutative algebra, written by experts in noncommutative algebra....The well chosen and nicely presented algebraic theory is perfectly combined with interesting applications to number theory and famous problems in
classical Greek geometry on ruler-and-compass constructions, including the four-square theorem and the constructibility with staight edge and compass of the regular 17-gon. The book contains a large number of well-chosen examples and excercises, most of them having complete solutions. We highly
recommend this beautiful book to everyone interested in algebra.
