Algebra, K-Theory, Groups, and Education: On the Occasion of Hyman Bass's 65th Birthday (Contemporary Mathematics)

This volume includes expositions of key developments over the past four decades in commutative and non-commutative algebra, algebraic $K$-theory, infinite group theory, and applications of algebra to topology. Many of the articles are based on lectures given at a conference at Columbia University honoring the 65th birthday of Hyman Bass. Important topics related to Bass's mathematical interests are surveyed by leading experts in the field. Of particular note is a professional autobiography of Professor Bass, and an article by Deborah Ball on mathematical education. The range of subjects covered in the book offers a convenient single source for topics in the field.Algebra, K-Theory, Groups, and Education: On the Occasion of Hyman Bass's 65th Birthday (Contemporary Mathematics), with ISBN 9780821810873 and ISBN 0821810871.
