Authors:
- David Mumford's first work in schemes was established in the literature as the Red Book long before it was formally published.
- It is still a standard, much-used reference on this subject.
- As a result it has been reprinted several times.
- This 2nd edition is augmented by another well-known, but now unavailable text of the author "Curves and their Jacobians" (62 pp)
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics (LNM, volume 1358)

About this book
This new edition also includes an overview of the theory of curves, their moduli spaces and their Jacobians, one of the most exciting fields within algebraic geometry. The book is aimed at graduate students and professors seeking to learn
i) the concept of "scheme" as part of their study of algebraic geometry and
ii) an overview of moduli problems for curves and of the use of theta functions to study these.
