Free Ideal Rings and Localization in General Rings (New Mathematical Monographs)

by P. M. Cohn

"This book presents the theory of free ideal rings (firs) in detail. Particular emphasis in placed on rings with a weak algorithm, exemplified by free associative algebras. There is also a full account of localization, which is treated for general rings but the features arising in firs are given special attention. Each section has a number of exercises, including some open problems, and each chapter ends with a historical note."--Jacket.
