Commutative Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, and Computational Methods

This volume contains papers presented at the International Conference on Commutative Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, and Computational Methods held in Hanoi in 1996, as well as papers written subsequently. It features both expository articles as well as research papers on a range of currently active areas in commutative algebra, algebraic geometry (particularly surveys on intersection theory) and combinatorics. In addition, a special feature is a section on the life and work of Wolfgang Vogel, who was an organizer of the conference.
