Accosiative rings and algebras are very interesting algebraic
structures. In a strict sense, the theory of algebras (in
particular, noncommutative algebras) originated fromasingleexample,
namelythequaternions, createdbySirWilliamR.Hamilton in1843.
Thiswasthe?rstexampleofanoncommutative"numbersystem." During
thenextfortyyearsmathematiciansintroducedotherexamplesofnoncommutative
algebras, began to bring some order into them and to single out
certain types of algebras for special attention. Thus,
low-dimensional algebras, division algebras, and commutative
algebras, were classi?ed and characterized. The ?rst complete
results in the structure theory of associative algebras over the
real and complex ?elds were obtained by T.Molien, E.Cartan and
G.Frobenius. Modern ring theory began when J.H.Wedderburn proved
his celebrated cl- si?cation theorem for ?nite dimensional
semisimple algebras over arbitrary ?elds. Twenty years later,
E.Artin proved a structure theorem for rings satisfying both the
ascending and descending chain condition which generalized
Wedderburn structure theorem. The Wedderburn-Artin theorem has
since become a corn- stone of noncommutative ring theory. The
purpose of this book is to introduce the subject of the structure
theory of associative rings. This book is addressed to a reader who
wishes to learn this topic from the beginning to research level. We
have tried to write a self-contained book which is intended to be a
modern textbook on the structure theory of associative rings and
related structures and will be accessible for independent study.
