description: Since its inception by von Neumann 70 years ago the theory of operator algebras has become a rapidly developing area of importance for the understanding of many areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. Accessible to the non-specialist this first part of a three-volume treatise provides a clear carefully written survey that emphasizes the theory's analytical and topological aspects.
