Algebraic geometry | History of geometry

Glossary of classical algebraic geometry

The terminology of algebraic geometry changed drastically during the twentieth century, with the introduction of the general methods, initiated by David Hilbert and the Italian school of algebraic geometry in the beginning of the century, and later formalized by André Weil, Jean-Pierre Serre and Alexander Grothendieck. Much of the classical terminology, mainly based on case study, was simply abandoned, with the result that books and papers written before this time can be hard to read. This article lists some of this classical terminology, and describes some of the changes in conventions. Dolgachev translates many of the classical terms in algebraic geometry into scheme-theoretic terminology. Other books defining some of the classical terminology include Baker , , , , , .

Complex numbers and curves | Math History | NJ Wildberger

In the 19th century, the study of algebraic curves entered a new era with the introduction of homogeneous coordinates and ideas from projective geometry, the use of complex numbers both on the curve and at infinity, and the discovery by the great German mathematician B. Riemann that topolo

The differential calculus for curves, via Lagrange! | Differential Geometry 4 | NJ Wildberger

We rejuvenate the powerful algebraic approach to calculus that goes back to the work of Newton, Euler and particularly Lagrange, in his 1797 book: The Theory of Analytic Functions (english translation). The idea is to study a polynomial function p(x) by using translation and truncation to

What is... an elliptic curve?

In this talk, we will define elliptic curves and, more importantly, we will try to motivate why they are central to modern number theory. Elliptic curves are ubiquitous not only in number theory, but also in algebraic geometry, complex analysis, cryptography, physics, and beyond. They were
