Well, my philosophy is that if all a book contains is exercises to be solved by me, then I can as well re-discover that field myself - no thanks to the book. In fact, I impulsively decided to write a very angry review of this book. But somehow I calmed down and threw the book aside. After about 9 months, when I thought I had become a little more "geometrically mature" by devoting some time to Differential Geometry, I picked up this book again, and then I found that it is in some sense a unique book in Algebraic Geometry - a field, in my opinion, notorious for Algebraic geometers trying to show off their pseudo-knowledge just by hiding the field's underlying geometric simplicity, especially from physicists like me.What I am noticing now is that this books gives a lot of missing logic and connections in this field by starting from "obviously simple" geometrical intuition of conics and cubics and ending with Sheaves and Cohomology. I personally would like to know of any other book which tries this. This is the main worth of this book.But my initial anger has not died down completely for reasons:1) I expect more explanations and less exercises from a book written by eleven writers. Well, the eleven authors don't have to look further than the book of their own beloved and respected Garrity mentioned above to understand what I mean.2) I also expected that a "Gang of Eleven" will say about Algebraic Geometry what David Hestenes said about Geometric Algebra "Algebra without Geometry is Blind".PS: I have no intension of solving any exercise, because the connection between various ideas is more important for physicists like me than rigorous proofs of the exercises.Rattan MannRattan Mann Films,Oslo Norway.Second Opinion (Review) of this book after reading about 180 pages from cover to cover:After reading this book cover to cover for about 180 pages, I feel my initial intuition about the approach of this book was correct. In fact, now I feel that my initial intuition has some lessons for the prestigious Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, which has sponsored this book.Around page 160 there begins the standard "student exercise" approach to Riemann-Roch Theorem. This reminds me of what a Norwegian professor of mathematics told me a long time ago with very great excitement in reference to Hartshorne's "Algebraic Geometry ".He basically said that in our great modern times full of great geniuses, Riemann's work has been reduced to half a page of footnote. At that time I was very impressed by his words because, as a physicist, I was struggling with abstract research level mathematics. But today, with hindsight, I find it a very silly statement, because it is now my opinion that if someone has not spent years thinking about Riemann's work, he does not know any mathematics at all.By reducing Riemann-Roch Theorem to a few "student exercises", this book is basically saying what this Norwegian professor of mathematicstold me a long time ago.What is more surprising and disappointing for me is that the great Institute For Advanced Study, Princeton, sponsors such silly views.Wake up, great teachers and gurus, and start thinking at least when you are in IAS.Rattan Mann,Rattan Mann Films,Oslo, Norway. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015* Textbook is expensive, but seems to be of very good quality. I like the fact that there are multiple authors for a mature and balanced viewpoint. Also, the book is well organized, with each chapter and section having a clear focus and necessary audience background. I do not love the fact that the exercises are mixed into the text, but this seems to have been fairly well-executed in this case. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to AG *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2019* Easy to read! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/8855227-algebraic-geometry-a-problem-solving-approach-student-mathematical-library-student](https://www.desertcart.in/products/8855227-algebraic-geometry-a-problem-solving-approach-student-mathematical-library-student) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
