INTRODUCTION TO COMMUTATIVE ALGEBRA, AN: FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF NORMALIZATION

Designed for a one-semester course in mathematics, this textbook presents a concise and practical introduction to commutative algebra in terms of normal (normalized) structure. It shows how the nature of commutative algebra has been used by both number theory and algebraic geometry. Many worked examples and a number of problem (with hints) can be found in the volume. It is also a convenient reference for researchers who use basic commutative algebra.
