This book grew out of a course of lectures given to third year
undergraduates at Oxford University and it has the modest aim of
producing a rapid introduction to the subject. It is designed to be read
by students who have had a first elementary course in general algebra.
On the other hand, it is not intended as a substitute for the more
voluminous tracts such as Zariski-Samuel or Bourbaki. We have
concentrated on certain central topics, and large areas, such as field
theory, are not touched. In content we cover rather more ground than
Northcott and our treatment is substantially different in that,
following the modern trend, we put more emphasis on modules and
localization.Download
