	Zariski topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, namely algebraic geometry, the Zariski topology is a particular topology chosen for algebraic varieties that reflects the algebraic nature of their definition but is only weakly related to their geometric properties; it is due to Oscar Zariski and took a place of particular importance in the field around 1950.
		In this sense, the Zariski topology is an organizational tool rather than an object of study (compare with the role of the topology in algebraic topology).
		This is one instance of the geometric unsuitability of the Zariski topology.

		Oscar's mother was the one who ensured that her young son had a good education.
		A tutor was provided for Oscar from the time he was seven years old and Oscar, under the guidance of the tutor, showed remarkable aptitude for the Russian language and for arithmetic.
		It was while Zariski was in Rome that Enriques suggested that Ascher Zaritsky, as he was then called, change his name to the Italian sounding Oscar Zariski.

		The Zariski topology is defined by defining the closed sets to be the sets consisting of the mutual zeroes of a set of polynomials.
		The Zariski topology given to some finite-dimensional vector space doesn't depend on the specific basis chosen; for that reason it is an intrinsic structure.
		The general case of the Zariski topology is based on the affine scheme and spectrum of a ring constructions, as local models.

	Zariski topology
		In this topology, named after Oscar Zariski, the closed sets are the sets consisting of the mutual zeros of a finite set of polynomial equations.
		This definitions indicates the kind of space that can be given a Zariski topology: for example we define the Zariski topology on a n-dimensional vector space F^n over a field F, using the definition above.
		It follows easily that homomorphisms are continuous and so the Zariski topology given to some finite-dimensional vector space doesn't depend on a specific basis chosen.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Regular local ring
		Regular local rings were originally defined by Wolfgang Krull, but they first became prominent in the work of Oscar Zariski, who showed that geometrically, a regular local ring corresponds to a smooth point on an algebraic variety.
		Zariski proved that Y is nonsingular at P if and only if the local ring of Y at P is regular.
		This implies that smoothness is an intrinsic property of the variety, in other words it does not depend on where or how the variety is embedded in affine space.

	Interview with Heisuke Hironaka [a great Japanese mathematician speaks informally] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The fundamental nature of this problem was apparent to many mathematicians in the first part of the twentieth century, notably Oscar Zariski, who solved the problem for curves and surfaces and had a profound influence on Hironaka.
		Oscar Zariski had already solved it for curves in one dimension, two dimensions, and even partly in three dimensions.
		Zariski wanted to have a solid foundation for such results, and he chose algebra to be the foundation.

		Algebraic geometry is the study of polynomials or more precisely the zero sets of polynomials.
		The field is a very old one but in the mid-1900's Andre Weil and Oscar Zariski worked together to set the field on a new foundation.
		We will cover topics that include: projective space, homogeneous coordinates, plane curves, Bezout’s theorem, elliptic curves, affine and projective varieties, the Zariski topology, coordinate rings, and functions on varieties.
