Maths - Algebraic Geometry

Algebraic geometry is about applying geometrical constructions to algebraic problems.

Or, to turn this around, its about geometric structures defined by polynomials.
  • Set theory has functions.
  • Topology has continuous functions.
  • Differential geometry has smooth functions.
  • Analytic geometry has analytic functions.
  • Algebraic geometry has polynomial functions.
Main objects in algebraic geometry are algebraic varieties.
