The Geometry of Schemes

  • Written by two highly respected mathematicians who are also bestselling Springer authors
  • Fills the gap between books on classical algebraic geometry and full-blown accounts of the theory of schemes
  • Provides a simple account, emphasizing and explaining the universal geometric concepts behind the definitions
  • Explicit calculations show how scheme theory is utilized in practice
  • Discusses applications to number theory, physics, and applied mathematics

Part of the book series: Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM, volume 197)
