E-Books →Algebraic Geometry I Algebraic Curves, Algebraic Manifolds and Schemes

"This volume... consists of two papers. The first, written by V.V.Shokurov, is devoted to the theory of Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves. It is an excellent overview of the theory of relations between Riemann surfaces and their models - complex algebraic curves in complex projective spaces. ... The second paper, written by V.I.Danilov, discusses algebraic varieties and schemes. ...
I can recommend the book as a very good introduction to the basic algebraic geometry."
