Introduction:

Hilbert's Nullstellensatz is a relationship between algebra and geometry that was discovered by David Hilbert in 1900. Nullstellensatz is a German word that translates roughly to “Theorem of Zeros” or more precisely, “Zero Locus Theorem.” The Nullstellensatz is a foundational theorem that greatly advanced the study of algebraic geometry by proving a strong connection between geometry and a branch of algebra called commutative algebra. Both the Nullstellensatz and commutative algebra focus heavily on ‘rings,’ which will be defined in the vocabulary section.
