Summary

This book succeeds brilliantly by concentrating on a number of core topics...and by treating them in a hugely rich and varied way. The author ensures that the reader will learn a large amount of classical material and perhaps more importantly, will also learn that there is no one approach to the subject.

Algebraic Geometry Summary

Algebraic Geometry: A First Course by Joe Harris

This book succeeds brilliantly by concentrating on a number of core topics...and by treating them in a hugely rich and varied way. The author ensures that the reader will learn a large amount of classical material and perhaps more importantly, will also learn that there is no one approach to the subject. The essence lies in the range and interplay of possible approaches. The author is to be congratulated on a work of deep and enthusiastic scholarship. --MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

Algebraic Geometry

A First Course

This book succeeds brilliantly by concentrating on a number of core topics (the rational normal curve, Veronese and Segre maps, quadrics, projections, Grassmannians, scrolls, Fano varieties, etc.) and by treating them in a hugely rich and varied way. The author ensures that the reader will learn a large amount of classical material and perhaps more importantly, will also learn that there is no one approach to the subject. The essence lies in the range and interplay of possible approaches. The author is to be congratulated on a work of deep and enthusiastic scholarship.-MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
