This introductory text to algebraic geometry has been used for the last 20 years. This second edition has many improvements, and appears here in a new translation into the modern language of algebraic geometry. The approach is aimed at the substance of algebraic geometry rather than the formalism. The topics are well chosen, and are discussed at a level of generality and rigor that will be attractive to a wide range of students. The motivation behind the material is thoroughly discussed and illustrated by substantial examples. The book is now in two volumes. Volume 1 is an introduction to the theory of algebraic varieties in projective space, and discusses most of the main topics in an undergraduate or first-year graduate course in algebraic geometry. Two notable additions in this second edition are the sections on singularities and applications to number theory.
