Introduction to Algebraic Geometry With its rousing cry ofAuthor Serge Lang defines algebraic geometry as the study of systems of algebraic equations in several variables and of the structure that one can give to the solutions of such equations. The study can be carried out in four ways: analytical, topological, algebraico geometric, and arithmetic. This volume offers a rapid, concise, and self contained introductory approach to the algebraic aspects of the third method, the algebraico geometric. The
