Li (mathematics, Bilkent U. Turkey) and Oystaeyen (mathematics, U. of Antwerp/UIA, Belgium) emphasize the new Groebner basis method that combines ordered ideal structure theory in polynomial rings with the Weierstrass theory of elliptic curves. Designed both as a text for high level undergraduate or first-year graduate students and as a reference for pure and applied mathematicians, this book covers a range of material, including: polynomials, affine space, radical ideals, rational functions, irreducible algebraic sets, the Riemann-Roch theorem, elliptic functions, and the Zariski topology.

Industry Reviews

"This book can be used as a first course in algebraic geometry for students and researchers who are not primarily pure mathematicians. It is also useful for applications in computer algebra, robotics and computational geometry and mathematical methods in technology. I wish to recommend this well-written book to anyone interested in applied algebraic geometry." - EMS Newsletter, June 2003
