Book Description

This volume has grown out of lectures given by Professor Pfister over many years. The emphasis here is placed on results about quadratic forms that give rise to interconnections between number theory, algebra, algebraic geometry, and topology. This is a gem of a book bringing together 30 years' worth of results that are certain to interest anyone whose research touches on quadratic forms.
