Product Description: Moduli problems in algebraic geometry date back to Riemann's famous count of the $3g-3$ parameters needed to determine a curve of genus $g$. In this book, Zariski studies the moduli space of curves of the same equisingularity class...read more

Product Description: This is the second of four volumes that will eventually present the full corpus of Zariski's mathematical contribution. Like the first volume (subtitled Foundations of Algebraic Geometry and Resolution of Singularities, and edited by H...read more

Product Description: Oscar Zariski's earliest papers originally appeared in 1924 and have been followed by a steady accretion ever since. That at least four volumes are required to publish his collected papers is an index to his productiveness and persistence; that they have been collected at all is a tribute to their continuing importance in the field of algebraic geometry...read more

Product Description: Oscar Zariski, one of the most eminent mathematicians of our time, climaxed a distinguished career by receiving the National Medal of Science. He has enriched mathematics, particularly in algebraic geometry and modern algebra, by numerous and fundamental papers...read more

Product Description: Zariski provides a solid introduction to this topic in algebra, adding his own insights.
