Publisher's Synopsis
In these notes on "Projective Modules and Complete Intersections" an account on the recent developments in research on this subject is presented.;The author's preference for the technique of Patching isotopic isomorphisms due to Quillen, formalized by Plumsted, over the techniques of elementary matrices is evident here.;The treatment of Basic Element theory here incorporates Plumstead's idea of the "generalized dimension functions".;These notes are highly selfcontained and should be accessible to any graduate student in commutative algebra or algebraic geometry.;They include fully self-contained presentations of the theorems of Ferrand-Szpiro, Cowsik-Nori and the techniques of Lindel.
