Introductory Notes on Valuation Rings and Function Fields in One Variable
The book deals with the (elementary and introductory) theory of valuation rings. As explained in the introduction, this represents a useful and important viewpoint in algebraic geometry, especially concerning the theory of algebraic curves and their funct

Preface
The present notes arise from courses delivered at the Scuola Normale in the years 2004/2006. These courses were intended to give to students of III and IV at Scuola Normale year some background on function Uelds of one variable, from the viewpoint of valuations, these topics not being usually touched in university courses in Pisa. The initial purpose was to limit the treatment to basic theory. The notes follow very similar principles, and are addressed to a public with
