Description: Other volumes in the Pure and Applied Mathematics series The Algebraic Structure of Group Rings Donald S. Passman This book offers a comprehensive, self-contained treatment of group rings of infinite groups. It begins with basic definitions and contains background material on group theory and ring theory. Major topics considered include: the trace map, the augmentation ideal and dimension subgroups, linear and polynomial identities and their relationship to the center, semisimplicity and primitivity, polycyclic-by-finite groups and Philip Hall s problem, zero divisors, and isomorphism questions. 1977 Topological Uniform Structures Warren Page Here is an overall unifying theme of topologies compatible with increasingly enriched algebraic structures, showing the rich interplay among mathematics diverse areas. It studies mathematics as a structured, coherent, and harmonious whole, giving a detailed examination of uniform spaces, topological groups, topological vector spaces, topological algebras, and abstract harmonic analysis. Also includes a section on topological vector-valued measure spaces and numerous problems and examples. The text is virtually self-contained, presenting detailed proofs, stressing readability and motivation, and covering much advanced material. 1978 Applied Abstract Analysis Jean-Pierre Aubin Discusses all the main theorems of topology by introducing and studying principal topics in the elementary framework of metric spaces. Considers various applications in differential equations, dynamic systems, game theory, and economics, illustrating the advantages of using an abstract approach to solve problems of a more concrete nature. Also includes aconcise review of essential results, a set of exercises and problems, and a terminological index. 1977
