As motivation, it takes concrete questions from enumerative geometry and intersection theory, and provides intuition and technique so that the student develops the ability to solve geometric problems. It also contains abundant examples, exercises and solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'… the book covers an important part of classical algebraic geometry with a modern point of view.
