Book DetailsHindustan Book AgencyVolume: 70; 2015; 516 ppMSC: Primary 14
Several generations of students of algebraic geometry have learned the subject from David Mumford's fabled "Red Book", which contains notes of his lectures at Harvard University. Their genesis and evolution are described by Mumford in the preface:
Initially, notes to the course were mimeographed and bound and sold by the Harvard mathematics department with a red cover. These old notes were picked up by Springer and are now sold as The Red Book of Varieties and Schemes. However, every time I taught the course, the content changed and grew. I had aimed to eventually publish more polished notes in three volumes...
This book contains what Mumford had then intended to be Volume II. It covers the material in the "Red Book" in more depth, with several topics added. Mumford has revised the notes in collaboration with Tadao Oda.
The book is a sequel to Algebraic Geometry I, published by Springer-Verlag in 1976.
A publication of Hindustan Book Agency; distributed within the Americas by the American Mathematical Society. Maximum discount of 20% for all commercial channels.
ReadershipAnyone interested in algebraic geometry.

The book is well written (as one would expect from Mumford) and insightful..."Algebraic Geometry II" is not an easy book, but working through it will provide a good base from which to proceed into research in algebraic geometry.
