An introductory textbook for a graduate course in pure mathematics that provides a gateway into the two difficult fields of algebraic geometry & commutative algebra. It delves into the rich interplay between algebraic geometry & commutative algebra. ...

Discover the secrets of four alternative tunings with Pat Kirtley's accessible arrangements, & make your first steps into this exciting & contemporary approach to the guitar. By straying from the standard EADGBE tuning system, a world of new harmonic possibilities opens up, some of which are explored through Kirtley's exciting solo pieces. You will learn: how to tune your guitar in four new ways, how to find the tunings without an electronic tuner, the pros & cons of alternate tunings, full on-screen instruction for each song, including split-screen detail, harmonic 'chime' techniques & right-hand fingerstyle techniques. ...
