Book Description

0387984283 978-0387984285 October 23, 1998 1
This new book can be read independently from the first volume and may be used for lecturing, seminar- and self-study, or for general reference. It focuses more on specific topics in order to introduce readers to a wealth of basic and useful ideas without the hindrance of heavy machinery or undue abstractions. User-friendly with its abundance of examples illustrating the theory at virtually every step, the volume contains a large number of carefully chosen exercises to provide newcomers with practice, while offering a rich additional source of information to experts. A direct approach is used in order to present the material in an efficient and economic way, thereby introducing readers to a considerable amount of interesting ring theory without being dragged through endless preparatory material.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"As in the previous book, the presentation is extremely clear and incisive and the exercises are both interesting and challenging. Without a doubt, the book could indeed serve as a textbook for a very good---though definitely formidable---graduate course in ring theory. The author is the first to admit, in his introduction, that he is far from having covered all of the interesting topics in noncommutative ring theory. Therefore, given the high level of presentation of the two books he has already published, one can only hope that a third volume will be in the offing, despite his "solemn pledge" to the contrary."--MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

5.0 out of 5 stars Lectures on Modules and rings (GTM 189), May 10, 2010
This review is from: Lectures on Modules and Rings (Graduate Texts in Mathematics 189) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book written by a top mathematician with an exceptional
pedagogical style. The Chapter are presented with their historical background,
prerequisites are explicit, proofs are the best existing ones presented in
a very clear way. Another important feature for this subject is the fact that
there are many examples explaining the hypotheses but also creating feelings and intuition
in this area. There are a lot of exercises. The solutions of these exercises have appeared
in a book "exercises in Modules and Rings" (Problem books in Mathematics, Springer)
Anyone with interests in Noncommutative algebra will be happy to have this book on his shelves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lectures on Modules and Rings, August 15, 2008
This review is from: Lectures on Modules and Rings (Graduate Texts in Mathematics 189) (Hardcover)
Very well written and comprehensive treatise of the subject with a lot of illustrative examples.
Of value not only to those working in algebraic domains but also to students and researchers in analysis
