New methods have evolved out of an inux of ideas from such diverse areas as polyhedral geometry, theoretical physics, representation theory, homological algebra, symplectic geometry, graph theory, integer programming, symbolic computation, and statistics. The purpose of this volume is to provide a selfcontained introduction to some of the resulting combinatorial techniques for dealing with polynomial rings, semigroup rings, and determinantal rings. Our exposition mainly concerns combinatorially
