![Book cover: Introduction to Projective Varieties](images/4324.jpg)
by Enrique Arrondo - Universidad Complutense de Madrid
The scope of these notes is to present a soft and practical introduction to algebraic geometry, i.e. with very few algebraic requirements but arriving soon to deep results and concrete examples that can be obtained 'by hand'.
