About this title

Book Description

This introductory account of commutative algebra is aimed at students with a background only in basic algebra. It is thus suitable for typical mathematics graduate students, but it can also be used for some some final year undergraduate courses. Professor Sharp's intention is to provide a good foundation from which the reader can proceed to more advanced works in commutative algebra or algebraic geometry. This new edition contains additional chapters on regular sequences and on Cohen-Macaulay rings.

Review

'... a very useful stepping-stone for students in their study of commutative algebra.' H. Mitsch, Universität Wien

'... Sharp is an excellent guide, clearly aiming never to leave his readers floundering ... This standard of care for his readers is maintained throughout the book ... this is a superb guide to an attractive and important area of mathematics, and one from which I will derive pleasure as a retirement project. But it will never be an easy ride.' John Baylis, The Mathematical Gazette
