BOOK
Plane Algebraic Curves: An Introduction Via Valuations
This textbook provides a rigorous introduction to the classical subject of plane algebraic curves by utilizing the modern framework of valuation theory. Part of the Pure and Applied Mathematics series, it bridges the gap between elementary geometry and advanced algebraic concepts like algebraic varieties, adeles, and morphisms. The authors focus on providing a self-contained treatment suitable for graduate students, covering topics such as intersection multiplicity and the local properties of curves over an algebraically closed field.
