Intersection TheoryPaperback, 26 June 1998

The aim of this book is to develop the foundations of intersection theory, and to indicate the range of classical and modern applications. Although a comprehensive history of this vast subject is not attempted, the author points out some of the striking early appearances of the ideas of this theory. A suggested prerequiste for the reading of this book is a first course in algebraic geometry. Fulton's introduction to intersection theory has been well used for more than 10 years. It is still the only existing comprehensive treatise of the subject and received the Steele Prize for best exposition in 1996.
