"Written for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students, as well as a refresher for seasoned mathematicians, A Primer of Algebraic Geometry presents a systematic treatment of elementary algebraic geometry, offering algebraic structure theory in an "effective" way - covering dimension theory for varieties that agree with the use of the Zariski topology.". "A self-contained resource complete with exercises in each section, a Primer of Algebraic Geometry is a reference for pure and applied mathematicians, algebraists, number theorists, algebraic geometers, and computer scientists, and a text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in computer algebra, robotics and computational geometry, theoretical computer science, and mathematical methods of technology."--BOOK JACKET.
