Examples

“This book develops Grothendieck's scheme theory as a method for studying algebraic geometry.[…]In the preface of EGA [ Éléments de géométrie algébrique ], Grothendieck even claimed that a knowledge of classical algebraic geometry may hinder the reader from studying scheme theory.”
“There is another approach dealing with more ring theoretical objects, i.e. starting from a nice class of algebras, called schematic algebras, it is possible to define a space, a Zariski topology, points, lines etc..., cf. [VOW1], [AZ], [ATV]. then it becomes possible to develop a scheme theory, completely extending the theory of schemes in classical algebraic geometry.”
“The main point of scheme theory is to consider C as a covariant functor R#92;mapstoC(R) from the category #92;textit#123;B-ALG#125; (also written as #92;textit#123;ALG#125;#95;#123;#47;#92;mathfrak#123;B”
“With these ideas of scheme theory, perturbation, and abstraction, it becomes possible to see how metacognition might be interpreted in constructivist terms.”
