I have read somewhere that one motivation of scheme theory is that using methods developed in scheme theory we can detect that the point associated to the intersection of $y = 0 cap y = x^2$ has multiplicity two. Can someone explain this in details to me. That would be very helpful.

    $k[x,y]/ (y - x^2, y) = k[x,y] / (y,x^2) = k[x]/(x^2)$. The final ring is a vector space of dimension 2, which is the multiplicity of the intersection.

    If you really want all the details, you might have to start studying scheme theory. I recommend "The geometry of schemes", by Eisenbud and Harris.
