Text
M. F. Atiyah and I. G. Macdonald, Introduction to commutative algebra, Addison-Wesley, 1969. Students especially interested in algebraic geometry may also want to consult D. Eisenbud, Commutative algebra with a view toward algebraic geometry, Springer, 1995. Both are on reserve in the math library.
Homework
Homework is due on Fridays in Denise's mailbox. The problems due will be announced each week in class and can be found in a single exercise file that will keep growing.
