Dieses Buch gibt eine Einführung in die Algebraische Geometrie. Ziel ist es, die grundlegenden Begriffe und Techniken der algebraischen Geometrie darzustellen und an Hand zahlreicher Beispiele zu erläutern. Dies soll es dem Leser ermöglichen, selbständig mit weiterführenden Texten zu arbeiten. Die Sprache wird bewusst elementar gehalten. Besonderes Gewicht wird auf die Darstellung des Wechselspiels zwischen der Entwicklung der allgemeinen Theorie einerseits, und der Behandlung von konkreten Beispielen und Anwendungen andererseits, gelegt. Der Umfang entspricht dem Stoff einer 1-semestrigen 4-stündigen Vorlesung. Das Buch ist geeignet für Studierende der Mathematik im Bachelor-Studium, die die einführenden Vorlesungen über Algebra und Funktionentheorie gehört haben. Die Neuauflage wurde stark überarbeitet, neue Abbildungen wurden erstellt, weitere Übungsaufgaben und Lösungshinweise zu allen Übungsaufgaben wurden ergänzt.

This is a genuine introduction to algebraic geometry. The author makes no assumption that readers know more than can be expected of a good undergraduate. He introduces fundamental concepts in a way that enables students to move on to a more advanced book or course that relies more heavily on commutative algebra. The language is purposefully kept on an elementary level, avoiding sheaf theory and cohomology theory. The introduction of new algebraic concepts is always motivated by a discussion of the corresponding geometric ideas. The main point of the book is to illustrate the interplay between abstract theory and specific examples. The book contains numerous problems that illustrate the general theory. The text is suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. It contains sufficient material for a one-semester course. The reader should be familiar with the basic concepts of modern algebra. A course in one complex variable would be helpful, but is not necessary. It is also an excellent text for those working in neighboring fields (algebraic topology, algebra, Lie groups, etc.) who need to know the basics of algebraic geometry.

The aim of the Expositions is to present new and important developments in pure and applied mathematics. Well established in the community over more than two decades, the series offers a large library of mathematical works, including several important classics. The volumes supply thorough and detailed expositions of the methods and ideas essential to the topics in question. In addition, they convey their relationships to other parts of mathematics. The series is addressed to advanced readers interested in a thorough study of the subject. Editorial Board Lev Birbrair, Universidade Federal do Ceará, Fortaleza, BrasilWalter D.
