Changes in algebraic geometry have made the subject increasingly inaccessible to all but specialists in the field. This comprehensive, self-contained monograph presents some of the main, general results of the theory accompanied by, and with emphasis on, their applications to the study of interesting examples and to the development of computational tools. The effective utilization of the techniques of elementary complex analysis and topology synthesize the classical and the modern into a cohesive presentation.

About the Author

Phillip Augustus Griffiths IV is an American mathematician, known for his work in the field of geometry, and in particular for the complex manifold approach to algebraic geometry. He was a major developer in particular of the theory of variation of Hodge structure in Hodge theory and moduli theory. Joseph Harris is the author of Principles of Algebraic Geometry, published by Wiley.
