Commutative algebra and algebraic geometry

the long version

"This reference - compiled in honor of Mario Fiorentini of the University of Ferrara, Italy, a driving force in the development of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry and the intercommunication of these fields - contains contributions by over 25 leading international mathematicians in the areas of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry."--BOOK JACKET. "Illustrating how seemingly different concepts emerge out of a common fundamental set of ideas, Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry serves as a motivating guide for pure and applied mathematicians, particularly algebraists, number theorists, ring theorists, geometers, and topologists, as well as graduate students in these disciplines."--BOOK JACKET.
