Description

This introductory account of commutative algebra is aimed at students with a background only in basic algebra. Professor Sharp’s book provides a good foundation from which the reader can proceed to more advanced works in commutative algebra or algebraic geometry. This new edition contains additional chapters on regular sequences and on Cohen-Macaulay rings.

Editorial Reviews: Review ‘… a very useful stepping-stone for students in their study of commutative algebra.’ H. Mitsch, Universität Wien’… Sharp is an excellent guide, clearly aiming never to leave his readers floundering … This standard of care for his readers is maintained throughout the book … this is a superb guide to an attractive and important area of mathematics, and one from which I will derive pleasure as a retirement project. But it will never be an easy ride.’ John Baylis, The Mathematical Gazette Book Description Introductory account of commutative algebra, aimed at students with a background in basic algebra.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I have a mixed feeling toward this book: I bought it in the hope that it could serve as a stepping stone from general algebra to textbooks such as Atiyah/MacDonald and Eisenbud. Well, the topics covered do fit the purpose, but this book does not make an easy reading. In fact the writing style of Sharp is dry and tasteless, so it is rather boring if attempting to read from cover to cover. Thus I use it for reference, that is, to look up things I have to have remembered but I don’t. I will appreciate it very much that if, in the third edition, the author re-writes this in the spirit of Watkins

⭐.

⭐The explanations in the book are usually pretty clear and thorough.

⭐”Steps in Commutative Algebra” is excellent, one of the most enjoyable math books I’ve read. The author’s repeated use of 2.41 was brilliant. I just wish I could have found solutions to exercises online. I was disappointed to see the author hadn’t written many more books.

⭐Wonderful book! I recommend.

⭐Es un excelente libro, muy bien escrito y completamente autocontenido (incluso usa ejercicios propuestos en el desarrollo posterior de la teoría). Para mí es el complemento perfecto al libro de Atiyah & Macdonald (al menos los primeros 8 capítulos de este último lo cual es lo que se acostumbra a estudiar en la mayor parte de un curso de álgebra conmutativa a nivel posgrado).El material de las hojas del libro son de una calidad distinta a las blancas usuales (tipo papel periódico pero más resistente) lo cual hace que no desgastes tanto la vista. En general una excelente adquisición.Binding is damaged when the product arrives

⭐Classic book.
