Description for Topics in Commutative Ring Theory
Hardback. A commutative ring is a set-such as the integers, complex numbers, or polynomials with real coefficients - with two operations, addition and multiplication. This book guides readers from basic concepts to Noetherian rings, one of the most important classes of commutative rings and beyond. Num Pages: 232 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBF.

Topics in Commutative Ring Theory is a textbook for advanced undergraduate students as well as graduate students and mathematicians seeking an accessible introduction to this fascinating area of abstract algebra. Commutative ring theory arose more than a century ago to address questions in geometry and number theory. A commutative ring is a set-such as the integers, complex numbers, or polynomials with real coefficients--with two operations, addition and multiplication. Starting from this simple definition, John Watkins guides readers from basic concepts to Noetherian rings-one of the most important classes of commutative rings--and beyond to the frontiers of current research in the ...

Reviews for Topics in Commutative Ring Theory
"As an honest, focused treatment of an important subject packaged into an attractive, slender volume that average undergraduates may reasonably hope to master in one semester, this book will find its niche and its admirers."
