Preface to the Second Edition
The first edition of this book was published 5 years ago. When we have been asked to prepare another edition, we decided not only to correct typographical errors, update the references, and improve some of the proofs but also to add new material, some appearing in printed form for the first time. The major changes in this edition are the following: (1) A new section about non–commutative Gr¨obner basis is added to chapter one, written mainly by Viktor Levandovskyy. (2) Two new sections about characteristic sets and triangular sets together with the corresponding decomposition–algorithm are added to chapter four. (3) There is a new appendix about polynomial factorization containing univariate factorization over Fp and Q and algebraic extensions, as well as multivariate factorization over these fields and over the algebraic closure of Q. (4) The system Singular has improved quite a lot. A new CD is included, containing the version 3-0-3 with all examples of the book and several new Singular–libraries. (5) The appendix concerning Singular is rewritten corresponding to the version 3-0-3. In particular, more examples on how to write libraries and about the communication with other systems are given.
