- The following book is available now. I have read a preprint
- and I can recommend it to anybody who is interested in this field.
-
- @BOOK{Cox:92,
- AUTHOR = "D. Cox and J. Little and D. O'Shea",
- TITLE = "deals, Varieties and Algorithms:
- An Introduction of Computational Algebraic Geometry
- and Commutative Algebra",
- PUBLISHER = "Springer-Verlag",
- YEAR = 1992,
- COMMENTS = {The appendix contains a discussion of the Groebner basis
- package for REDUCE},
- ABSTRACT = {This book is an introduction to algebraic geometry and
- commutative algebra aimed primarily at undergraduates. It emphasizes
- applications and the computational and algorithmic aspects of the
- subject. Less abstract than other texts, and with prerequisites
- (a course in linear algebra and any course discussing how to do
- simple proofs), the text is also ideal for computer scientists as
- well as mathematicians interested in the subject. The exposition
- assumes that students have access to a computer algebra system such
- as Maple, REDUCE or Mathematica, but assumes no prior experience
- with a computer.
