| Jul 13, 2010 at 5:16 | comment | added | Mariano Suárez-Álvarez | What next, someone will come telling us about how he's never really used spaces for anything and wondering why people do not exclusively use simplicial sets? | |

| Jul 13, 2010 at 4:20 | comment | added | Amitesh Datta | Don't worry: I do have a decent background in classical algebraic geometry. (I have read the first few lectures in Harris' *Algebraic Geometry: A First Course", and intend to read the whole book in the near future.) | |

| Jul 13, 2010 at 3:08 | comment | added | BCnrd | OMG, please learn about algebraic varieties first! (Over an alg. closed field, don't worry about other ground fields; they will be nicely incorporated later when you are ready to learn about schemes.) It's where so much of the intuition comes from. Even the arithmetic applications and ideas, which are some of the most spectacular successes of the theory, are inspired by analogues in a more classical algebro-geometric setting. You can learn many basic things with just A&M, and pick up the rest as the need arises. Definitely no need to digest Eisenbud before any geometry. | |
| Jul 13, 2010 at 3:02 | comment | added | Andy Putman | The answer to your commutative algebra question is an easy "knowing AM is enough to start learning some algebraic geometry, but you'll have to learn a lot more as you continue you studies". As far as how much classical algebraic geometry influences modern algebraic geometry, I think that modern algebraic geometry is far too big a subject for this to have a well-defined answer. | |
