Providing an elementary introduction to noncommutative rings and
algebras, this textbook begins with the classical theory of finite
dimensional algebras. Only after this, modules, vector spaces over
division rings, and tensor products are introduced and studied. This
is followed by Jacobson's structure theory of rings. The final
chapters treat free algebras, polynomial identities, and rings of
quotients. Many of the results are not presented in their full
generality. Rather, the emphasis is on clarity of exposition and
simplicity of the proofs, with several being different from those in
other texts on the subject. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum, and
new concepts are introduced gradually and are carefully motivated.
Introduction to Noncommutative Algebra is therefore accessible to a
wide mathematical audience. It is, however, primarily intended for
beginning graduate and advanced undergraduate students encountering
noncommutative algebra for the first time.
