This textbook on commutative algebra presents basic results necessary for elementary algebraic geometry and introduces basic homological algebra and homological methods in commutative algebra. Its lecture-notes style will help readers with some mathematical maturity to study it on their own. Motivations are given at a number of places, examples follow every definition, and exercises are given at the end of each section.

N S Gopalakrishnan, after obtaining his masters degree in Mathematics in 1955 from Vivekananda College, Chennai, joined the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, for research in pure mathematics. He specialised in homological algebra on which he obtained his doctorate from Pune university in 1964. He was a faculty member of Pune University for more than three decades, teaching algebra, topology and related subjects to postgraduate students and also guiding students in their PhDs. He retired from Pune University in 1995.
