Synopsis

This is the long awaited sequel to Lam's earlier GTM 131 "A First Course in Noncommutative Ring Theory" and is intended to be used for lecturing, seminar- and self-study, and for general reference. It is focused more on specific topics in order to introduce the reader to a wealth of basic and useful ideas without the hindrance of heavy machinery or undue abstractions. This volume is particularly user- friendly with its abundance of examples illustrating the theory virtually at every step.

Review

"As in the previous book, the presentation is extremely clear and incisive and the exercises are both interesting and challenging. Without a doubt, the book could indeed serve as a textbook for a very good---though definitely formidable---graduate course in ring theory. The author is the first to admit, in his introduction, that he is far from having covered all of the interesting topics in noncommutative ring theory. Therefore, given the high level of presentation of the two books he has already published, one can only hope that a third volume will be in the offing, despite his "solemn pledge" to the contrary."--MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
