基本説明
A text for a one-semester course. The new edition additionally discusses the use of power series to parametrize curves and analyze intersection multiplicities and envelopes.
Full Description
Theorems follow naturally from high school algebra and two key ideas, homogeneous coordinates and intersection multiplicities.By classifying irreducible cubics over the real numbers and proving that their points form Abelian groups, the book gives readers easy access to the study of elliptic curves.
