About this title

Review

'... a very useful stepping-stone for students in their study of commutative algebra.' H. Mitsch, Universität Wien

'... Sharp is an excellent guide, clearly aiming never to leave his readers floundering ... This standard of care for his readers is maintained throughout the book ... this is a superb guide to an attractive and important area of mathematics, and one from which I will derive pleasure as a retirement project. But it will never be an easy ride.' John Baylis, The Mathematical Gazette

Book Description

This introductory account of commutative algebra is aimed at students with a background only in basic algebra. It is thus suitable for first-year graduate students and advanced undergraduates, with a style which is throughout rigorous but concrete. This new edition contains additional chapters on regular sequences and on Cohen–Macaulay rings.
