Algebra, as we know it today, consists of many different ideas,
concepts and results. A reasonable estimate of the number of these
different items would be somewhere between 50,000 and 200,000. Many
of these have been named and many more could (and perhaps should)
have a name or a convenient designation. Even the nonspecialist is
likely to encounter most of these, either somewhere in the
literature, disguised as a definition or a theorem or to hear about
them and feel the need for more information. If this happens, one
should be able to find enough information in this Handbook to judge
if it is worthwhile to pursue the quest.
In addition to the primary information given in the Handbook, there
are references to relevant articles, books or lecture notes to help
the reader. An excellent index has been included which is extensive
and not limited to definitions, theorems etc.
The Handbook of Algebra will publish articles as they are received
and thus the reader will find in this third volume articles from
twelve different sections. The advantages of this scheme are
two-fold: accepted articles will be published quickly and the
outline of the Handbook can be allowed to evolve as the various
volumes are published.
A particularly important function of the Handbook is to provide
professional mathematicians working in an area other than their own
with sufficient information on the topic in question if and when it
is needed.
