The book is not intended to be an easy introduction to the field (though, as a matter of fact, large parts can be read by anyone with a reasonable knowledge of commutative algebra, and suitable amplification could make most of the rest comprehensible to such a person); rather, it is designed to be of help to algebraic geometers.
Ang mga libro ay hindi inilaan upang maging isang madaling pagpapakilala sa larangan (bagaman, tulad ng isang bagay, malaking bahagi ay maaaring basahin ng sinuman na may sapat na kaalaman ng commutative algebra, at angkop na amplification ay gumawa ng karamihan ng mga natitirang maintindihan na tulad ng isang tao); sa halip, ito ay dinisenyo upang maging tulong sa algebraic geometers.
