ABOUT THIS BOOK
This book combines in one volume Irving Kaplansky's lecture notes on the theory of fields, ring theory, and homological dimensions of rings and modules.
"In all three parts of this book the author lives up to his reputation as a first-rate mathematical stylist. Throughout the work the clarity and precision of the presentation is not only a source of constant pleasure but will enable the neophyte to master the material here presented with dispatch and ease."—A. Rosenberg, Mathematical Reviews
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Irving Kaplansky is Director Emeritus of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and George Herbert Mead Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago.
