The geometry of syzygies : a second course in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry /

"Algebraic Geometry often seems very abstract, but in fact it is full of concrete examples and problems. This side of the subject can be approached through the equations of a variety, and the syzygies of these equations are a necessary part of the study. This book is the first textbook-level ac...
