Abelian Groups and Modules: International Conference in Dublin, August 10-14, 1998

by Paul C. Eklof (Editor), Rüdiger Göbel (Editor)

Overview

A 30-article volume, introducing an active and attractive part of algebra that has gained much from its position at the crossroads of mathematics over the years. The papers stimulate the reader to consider and actively investigate the topics and problems they contain.
