About this Item

A landmark of modern algebraic geometry, Principles of Algebraic Geometry remains one of the most influential treatments of the subject, combining complex geometry, Hodge theory, and projective methods in a way that has shaped several generations of research. The Wiley hardback is durable but was issued primarily for institutional use, and most surviving copies show heavy academic wear.

This copy is unusually well?preserved and retains its original dust jacket, a feature now seldom encountered. Clean, solid, and far better than typical examples, it represents one of the scarcer collectible states of this important twentieth?century mathematical text.

About this title

Synopsis

A comprehensive, self-contained treatment presenting general results of the theory. Establishes a geometric intuition and a working facility with specific geometric practices. Emphasizes applications through the study of interesting examples and the development of computational tools. Coverage ranges from analytic to geometric. Treats basic techniques and results of complex manifold theory, focusing on results applicable to projective varieties, and includes discussion of the theory of Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves, algebraic surfaces and the quadric line complex as well as special topics in complex manifolds.
