London Mathematical Society Student Texts 23: Complex Algebraic Curves (Softcover)

Condition

VERY GOOD: This book is in very good condition, showing only minimal signs of use and wear.

Product Details

Also from the back cover: "Complex algebraic curves were developed in the nineteenth century. They have many fascinating properties and crop up in various areas of mathematics, from number theory to theoretical physics, and are the subject of much research. Buy using only the basic techniques acquired by most undergraduate courses in mathematics, Dr Kirwan introduces the theory, observes the algebraic and topological properties of complex algebraic curves, and shows how they are related to complex analysis."
