I. N. Herstein – författare

New edition includes extensive revisions of the material on finite groups and Galois Theory. New problems added throughout.

Providing a concise introduction to abstract algebra, this work unfolds some of the fundamental systems with the aim of reaching applicable, significant results.

Noncommutative Rings provides a cross-section of ideas, techniques, and results that give the reader an idea of that part of algebra which concerns itself with noncommutative rings. In the space of 200 pages, Herstein covers the Jacobson radical, semisimple rings, commutativity theorems, simple algebras, representations of finite groups, polynomial identities, Goldie's theorem, and the Golod-Shafarevitch theorem. Almost every practicing ring theorist has studied portions of this classic monograph.
