Synopsis

The second volume of this treatise addresses three basic topics that extend the classical material of Volume I and are of a more advanced nature and recent vintage. These are valuation theory, theory of polynomial and power series rings (including generalizations to graded rings and modules), and local algebra. The connection of this material to algebraic geometry is stressed throughout the presentation.
