Ideals and reality : projective modules and number of generators of ideals

The authors study projective modules over commutative rings and, partly in connection with these, numbers of generators of modules and ideals. Especially they treat the question when affine curves are ideal or set theoretic complete intersections. In two parts, at the beginning and in the middle, the book gives a comprehensive introduction to Commutative Algebra. This enables students who know only the fundamentals of Algebra to follow the book. A chapter on topological vector bundles is included where the authors describe their wellknown connection with projective modules in a recent form, due to Vaserstein.
