In spirit, this book is closer to Elements de Geometrie Algebrique (EGA) than the existing textbooks on algebraic geometry. It prvides an introduction to schemes, formal schemesc coherent sheaves, and their cohomologies. The prerequisites for reading this book is the knowledge of commutative algebra up to the level of Ateyah-Macdonald's book. The material on algebraic geometry covered in this book provides adequate preparation for reading more advanced books such as Seminaire de Geometrie Algebrique (SGA).
