About this title

Synopsis

This classic work (first published in 1947), in three volumes, provides a lucid and rigorous account of the foundations of modern algebraic geometry. The authors have confined themselves to fundamental concepts and geometrical methods, and do not give detailed developments of geometrical properties but geometrical meaning has been emphasized throughout. This first volume is divided into two parts. The first is devoted to pure algebra: the basic notions, the theory of matrices over a non-commutative ground field and a study of algebraic equations. The second part is in n dimensions. It concludes with a purely algebraic account of collineations and correlations.

Book Description

The authors have confined themselves to fundamental concepts and geometric methods, and do not provide detailed developments of geometrical properties, although geometrical meaning has been emphasized throughout in this classic 3-volume work originally published in 1947.
