Conics and Cubics: A Concrete Introduction to Algebraic Curves (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

Acknowledged authors Bix, Robert wrote Conics and Cubics: A Concrete Introduction to Algebraic Curves (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) comprising 355 pages back in 2006. Textbook and eTextbook are published under ISBN 038731802X and 9780387318028. Since then Conics and Cubics: A Concrete Introduction to Algebraic Curves (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) textbook was available to sell back to BooksRun online for the top buyback price or rent at the marketplace.

Conics and Cubics offers an accessible and well illustrated introduction to algebraic curves. By classifying irreducible cubics over the real numbers and proving that their points form Abelian groups, the book gives readers easy access to the study of elliptic curves. It includes a simple proof of Bezout’s Theorem on the number of intersections of two curves. The subject area is described by means of concrete and accessible examples. The book is a text for a one-semester course.
