A bighly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and noolineari­ ties abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of IIIIIIhcmatiI:s serve as tools for odIcr parts and for ocher sci­ eoccs. Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above one finds suc:h stalements as: 'One ser­ vice topology has rcncIerM mathematical physics . . .

And all statements obrainable this way form part of the raison d'etm of this series. This series, Mathmlatics tDIII Its Applications, saaned in 1977. Now that over one hundred volumcs have appeared it seems opportune to reexamine its scope.

However, the 'tree' of knowledge of JJJatbcmatics and reIatcd ficIds docs not grow only by putting forth new bnDdIcs. It also happens, quite often in fact, that brancbes which were thought to be comp1etcly disparate am suddenly seen to be rdatcd.

About this title

Synopsis

Various types of approximation theorems are frequently used in general commutative algebra, and they have been found to be useful tools in valuation theory, the theory of Abelian lattice ordered groups, multiplicative ideal theory, etc. Part 1 of this volume is devoted to the investigation of approximation theorems from a classical point of view. The chapters of this part deal with fields and rings, partly ordered groups, and with multi-rings and d-groups. Part II investigates approximation theorems from a general, categorical point of view. This part is essentially self-contained and requires only a basic knowledge of category theory and first-order logic. For researchers and graduate students of commutative algebra, category theory, as well as applications of logic.
