description: About This Book This book is meant to be used by beginning graduate students. It covers basic material needed by any student of algebra and is essential to those specializing in ring theory homological algebra representation theory and K-theory among others. It will also be of interest to students of algebraic topology functional analysis differential geometry and number theory. Our approach is more homological than ring-theoretic as this leads the to many important areas of mathematics. This ap student more quickly proach is also we believe cleaner and easier to understand. However the more classical ring-theoretic approach as well as modern extensions are also presented via several exercises and sections in Chapter Five. We have tried not to leave any gaps on the paths to proving the main theorem- at most we ask the reader to fill in details for some of the sideline results; indeed this can be a fruitful way of solidifying one's understanding.
