• Some of my favorite references are:
  • Atiyah and Macdonald, "Introduction to Commutative Algebra".
  • Bruns and Herzog, "Cohen-Macaulay rings".
  • Eisenbud, "Commutative algebra with a view toward Algebraic Geometry".
  • Matsumura, "Commutative Algebra".
  • Matsumura, "Commutative Ring Theory".
  
  
• My favorite software is Macaulay2. Here is a small Macaulay2 session where I calculated the primary decomposition of an ideal. I used a session like this as I prepared the lecture (in 2013) on primary decomposition. All of the commands I used are explained on-line. I find the Macaulay2 Table of Contents to be very helpful.
  
  
• Many people post their pre-prints on the arXiv. Here is a short fascinating paper that appeared on the arXiv on Tuesday, August 27, 2024. Syzygies-Of-The-Residue-Field-Over-Golod-Rings.pdf
