📗 Libro en inglés LOCAL ALGEBRA

This is an English translation of the now classic "Algebre Locale - Multiplicites" originally published by Springer as LNM 11, in several editions since 1965. It gives a short account of the main theorems of commutative algebra, with emphasis on modules, homological methods and intersection multiplicities ("Tor-formula"). Many modifications to the original French text have been made by the author for this English edition: they make the text easier to read, without changing its intended informal character.
