Download or read book Computational Methods in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry written by Wolmer Vasconcelos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-05-18 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ACM volume deals with tackling problems that can be represented by data structures which are essentially matrices with polynomial entries, mediated by the disciplines of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. The discoveries stem from an interdisciplinary branch of research which has been growing steadily over the past decade. The author covers a wide range, from showing how to obtain deep heuristics in a computation of a ring, a module or a morphism, to developing means of solving nonlinear systems of equations - highlighting the use of advanced techniques to bring down the cost of computation. Although intended for advanced students and researchers with interests both in algebra and computation, many parts may be read by anyone with a basic abstract algebra course.
