Recent advances in computing and algorithms make it easier to do many classical problems in algebra. Suitable for graduate students, this book brings advanced algebra to life with many examples. The first three chapters provide an introduction to commutative algebra and connections to geometry. The remainder of the book focuses on three active areas of contemporary algebra: homological algebra; algebraic combinatorics and algebraic topology; and algebraic geometry.

The interplay between algebra and geometry is a beautiful (and fun!) area of mathematical investigation. Recent advances in computing and algorithms make it possible to tackle many classical problems in a down-to-earth and concrete fashion. Suitable for graduate students, the objective of this book is to bring advanced algebra to life with lots of examples. The first three chapters provide an introduction to commutative algebra and connections to geometry. The rest of the book then focuses on three active areas of contemporary algebra:* Homological Algebra--the snake lemma, long exact sequence in homology, functors and derived functors (Tor and Ext), and double complexes.* Algebraic Combinatorics and Algebraic Topology --simplicial complexes and simplicial homology, Stanley-Reisner rings, upper bound theorem and polytopes.* Algebraic Geometry--points and curves in projective space, Riemann-Roch, Cech cohomology,regularity.
"Schenck's book offers an interesting path into this wonderful subject...Any student who completes this book will be excited about algebraic geometry and well-equipped for further reading."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The interplay between algebra and geometry is a beautiful (and fun!) area of mathematical investigation. Recent advances in computing and algorithms make it possible to tackle many classical problems in a down-to-earth and concrete fashion. This opens wonderful new vistas and allows us to pose, study and solve problems that were previously out of reach. Suitable for graduate students, the objective of this book is to bring advanced algebra to life with lots of examples. The first chapters provide an introduction to commutative algebra and connections to geometry. The rest of the book focuses on three active areas of contemporary algebra: Homological Algebra (the snake lemma, long exact sequence inhomology, functors and derived functors (Tor and Ext), and double complexes); Algebraic Combinatorics and Algebraic Topology (simplicial complexes and simplicial homology, Stanley-Reisner rings, upper bound theorem and polytopes); and Algebraic Geometry (points and curves in projective space, Riemann-Roch, Cech cohomology, regularity).
