A classic textbook covering standard commutative algebra. Source: Internet
A notable exception to modern algebraic geometry texts following the conventions of this article is Commutative algebra with a view toward algebraic geometry / David Eisenbud (1995), which uses "h A " to mean the covariant hom-functor. Source: Internet
Commutative algebra makes great use of rings of polynomials in one or several variables, introduced above. Source: Internet
The study of algebraic geometry makes heavy use of commutative algebra to study geometric concepts in terms of ring-theoretic properties. Source: Internet
