Given your goal, I think you are better off staying focused and working through one text, rather than dabbling in too many different texts. | |
| Feb 7, 2023 at 1:09 | comment | added | Mr. Otis | In my seminar, I used Stanley and Fulton+Harris. So I do like and have experience with Stanley, but I do want to go further with RT and learn things like the Schur Weyl duality. Also, the standard text for commutative algebra at my school is by Atiyah and MacDonald and for Algebraic Geometry it is by Hartshorne. For algebraic number theory, I'd assume Lang is fine prep, but for algebraic geometry, would I be better off reading up on Atiyah MacDonald and maybe some of Artin or just use Lang (and the companion)? And finally, is Lang a good place to learn homological algebra? (new edition) | |
