algebraic geometry
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: algebraic geometries
Senses: examples: text: 1977, Robin Hartshorne, Algebraic Geometry, Springer, Softcover Reprint, 1977, page xiii,
The author of an introductory book on algebraic geometry has the difficult task of providing geometrical insight and examples, while at the same time developing the modern technical language of the subject. For in algebraic geometry, a great gap appears to separate the intuitive ideas which form the point of departure from the technical methods used in modern research.
The first question is that of language. Algebraic geometry has developed in waves, each with its own language and point of view.

The use of curves in algebraic geometries, in applications such as coding and cryptography, now has an extensive literature and has been responsible for dramatic developments in both subjects.
text: For example, every high school mathematics student has studied a bit of algebraic geometry, in learning the basic properties of conic sections, such as parabolas and hyperbolas.
