"The Algebraic Theory of Quadratic Forms was developed by the author from two topics courses, offered to graduate students in mathematics at Berkeley. The only prerequisite is general knowledge of algebra. Readers will find a full account of quadratic form theory over arbitrary fields. After covering Witt's theory in one of the initial chapters, the author introduces the techniques of quaternion algebras and of Clifford Algebras. Detailed theories of central simple graded algebras, the Brauer-Wall group and Clifford modules are made available in book form for the first time. Other chapters include systematic treatments of local fields, global fields, leading up to a concise discussion of Pfister forms and the quadratic invariants of fields. The text contains complete proofs as well as 150 problems. Solving these problems provides the reader with opportunities to test understanding of the text and to develop computational and deductive skills." (Verlagstext) Tsit Yuen Lam, auch Tsit-Yuen Lam, (* 6. Februar 1942), ist ein chinesisch-US-amerikanischer Mathematiker, der sich mit Algebra beschäftigt. Lam studierte an der Universität Hongkong (Bachelor 1963) und an der Columbia University, wo er 1967 bei Hyman Bass promoviert wurde (On Grothendieck Groups). Er war danach Instructor an der University of Chicago und machte ab 1968 an der Universität Berkeley Karriere, wo er 1969 Assistant Professor, 1972 Associate Professor und 1976 Professor wurde. Er war dort mehrfach Vize-Direktor der mathematischen Fakultät. 1995 bis 1997 war er Deputy Director des MSRI in Berkeley. Lam beschäftigte sich unter anderem mit Ringtheorie und quadratischen Formen. 1972 bis 1974 war er Sloan Research Fellow und 1981/82 Guggenheim Fellow. 1982 erhielt er den Leroy P. Steele Prize für seine Lehrbücher. Er ist Fellow der American Mathematical Society. (Wikipedia) In englischer Sprache. XI, (I), 344 pages. Groß 8° (152 x 228mm).
