The main objects of study in algebraic geometry are algebraic varieties , which are geometric manifestations of sets of solutions of systems of polynomial equations .

Much of the development of the main stream of algebraic geometry in the 20th century occurred within an abstract algebraic framework , with increasing emphasis being placed on `` intrinsic '' properties of algebraic varieties not dependent on any particular way of embedding the variety in an ambient coordinate space ; this parallels developments in topology , differential and complex geometry .

Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics studying zeros of polynomial equations .

Initially a study of systems of polynomial equations in several variables , the subject of algebraic geometry starts where equation solving leaves off , and it becomes even more important to understand the intrinsic properties of the totality of solutions of a system of equations , than to find a specific solution ; this leads into some of the deepest areas in all of mathematics , both conceptually and in terms of technique .

Algebraic geometry starts at the point where equation solving leaves off : In many cases , finding the properties all the solutions a given set of equations have is more important than finding a particular solution : this leads into some of the deepest areas in all of mathematics , both conceptually and in terms of technique .
