Author Serge Lang defines algebraic geometry as the study of systems of algebraic equations in several variables and of the structure that one can give to the solutions of such equations. The study can be carried out in four ways: analytical, topological, algebraico-geometric, and arithmetic. This volume offers a rapid, concise, and self-contained introductory approach to the algebraic aspects of the third method, the algebraico-geometric. The treatment...

"Xaxon Yellowbearyd was the fiercest Viking warrior of his time. Now a map to his hidden treasure lies in the hands of Radius and Per. Together the cousins must decode the strange numbered grid on the map--and figure out the secret of the Viking's X and Y axes. As bandits pursue them, Radius and Per track down clues and use coordinate geometry in their quest for "treasure of the greatest measure"."--Dust jacket flap.
