Elementary Commutative Algebra

More about the book

Focusing on commutative algebra, the book is designed for readers with a foundational understanding of algebraic structures, without requiring extensive knowledge of group or field theory. It introduces modern concepts and methods, featuring a "Discussion" section after each chapter to connect previous and new ideas. Emphasizing the computational aspects of the theory, it highlights the importance of algorithms in mathematics. The content is derived from lectures at the Mathematics Department of UFPE, aiming to engage novices with the practical applications of definitions and theorems.
