"This book presents elimination theory in weighted projective spaces over arbitrary noetherian commutative base rings. Elimination theory is a classical topic in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, and has become of renewed importance in the context of applied and computational algebra.

This book provides a valuable complement to sparse elimination theory in that it presents, in careful detail, the algebraic difficulties of working over general base rings, which is essential for many applications including arithmetic geometry. Necessary tools concerning monoids of weights, generic polynomials, and regular sequences are treated independently in the first part of the book. Supplements following each section provide extra details and insightful examples."--BOOK JACKET.
