Where to start with Algebraic Geometry?

1.3k Views Asked by At

I'm looking into studying Algebraic Geometry alongside some Algebraic Topology and was wondering what book would be useful. I was looking along the lines from Igor's Basic Algebraic Geometry, Cox, Little and O'Shea's Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms, and Justin Smith's Introduction to Algebraic Geometry. I've heard that Igor's book Basic Algebraic Geometry is fantastic but the problems are known to be impossible.

What is the best text to use for study on algebraic geometry? I have an understanding in Real Analysis (only single variable), Topology, Abstract Algebra (up to Ring theory).

You don't have enough background in commutative algebra. Try to finish Atiyah & McDonald or Eisenbud first. Then uyou can start Liu Qing or Hartshorne.
