Algebraic Geometry is analgebraic geometrytextbook written byRobin Hartshorne and published bySpringer-Verlag in 1977.[1]
It was the first extended treatment ofscheme theory written as a text intended to be accessible to graduate students.
The first chapter, titled "Varieties", deals with the classical algebraic geometry ofvarieties overalgebraically closed fields. This chapter uses many classical results incommutative algebra, includingHilbert's Nullstellensatz, with the books by Atiyah–Macdonald, Matsumura, and Zariski–Samuel as usual references. The second and the third chapters, "Schemes" and "Cohomology", form the technical heart of the book. The last two chapters, "Curves" and "Surfaces", respectively explore the geometry of 1- and 2-dimensional objects, using the tools developed in the chapters 2 and 3.
