Book Description
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Plane Algebraic Curves is a classroom-tested textbook for advanced undergraduate
and beginning graduate students in mathematics. The book introduces the
contemporary notions of algebraic varieties, morphisms of varieties, and adeles
to the classical subject of plane curves over algebraically closed fields. By
restricting the rigorous development of these notions to a traditional context
the book makes its subject accessible without extensive algebraic prerequisites.
Once the reader's intuition for plane curves has evolved, there is a discussion
of how these objects can be generalized to higher dimensional settings. These
features, as well as a proof of the Riemann-Roch Theorem based on a combination
of geometric and algebraic
