Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This is an English translation of the now classic "Algèbre Locale - Multiplicités" originally published by Springer as LNM 11, in several editions since 1965. It gives a short account of the main theorems of commutative algebra, with emphasis on modules, homological methods and intersection multiplicities ("Tor-formula"). Many modifications to the original French text have been made by the author for this English edition: they make the text easier to read, without changing its intended informal character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Serre as usual, November 1, 2005
By T. Koberda (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is crystal clear and reads like a bedtime story. I wish I had it when I took commutative algebra.
