Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This slim volume is still a valuable introduction to schemes and nicely complements the textbooks on this topic which have appeared in the meantime." (C. Baxa, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 201 (4), August, 2023)
"Throughout the text there are many instructive examples, remarks, and clarifying footnotes. The style of exposition is rather concise, very elegant, extremely lucid and enlightening, versatile, and - despite its venerable age of fifty years - absolutely modern and timely. . an excellent source for students, instructors, and mathematical physicists. No doubt, with this textbook, the mathematical community has another general standard reference in algebraic geometry at its disposal." (Werner Kleinert, zbMATH 1390.14002, 2018)
