Beginner's guide on homological algebra for commutative ring settings

63 Views Asked by At

At the moment, I'm a masters student, and I find commutative algebra to be pretty fascinating. The first seven chapters of "Introduction to Commutative Algebra" by Atiyah & Macdonald, "Steps in Commutative Algebra" by R.Y. Sharp, and the first three chapters of "Commutative Ring Theory" by Matsumura make up my foundational knowledge. My objective is to learn some homological algebra so that I can study it in greater depth and with greater interest in other books like "Cohen Macaulay Rings" by Bruns and Herzog. Which introductory book on it would be the best for me to read on my own? Algebraic topology is not my area of expertise.
