Beginning with category theory and Abelian categories, the book systematically introduces derived functors, Ext and Tor modules, spectral sequences, projective and injective modules, flatness, regular sequences, local cohomology, and duality theory. The author carefully connects abstract homological methods with the structural study of commutative rings and modules, including regular rings, Cohen-Macaulay rings, Gorenstein rings, and complete intersections. Numerous examples, exercises, and theoretical discussions illustrate the interaction between algebra, topology, algebraic geometry, and homological techniques. Written for graduate students and researchers, the work provides a rigorous yet accessible introduction to modern homological methods in commutative algebra and related mathematical disciplines ER -
