'I like the authorsaEURO (TM) taste in footnotes, what with their
frequent emphasis on history, i.e. the minutiae of the lives of
many mathematicians appearing in these pages. Their remarks add a
particular dimension of fun and pleasure to what I think is a very
good book. ItaEURO (TM)s pitched at the right level, it does a lot
of serious stuff in preparation for what is coming the
studentsaEURO (TM) way in the future, and it does it well.'MAA
ReviewsThis comprehensive two-volume book deals with algebra,
broadly conceived. Volume 1 (Chapters 1-6) comprises material for a
first year graduate course in algebra, offering the instructor a
number of options in designing such a course. Volume 1, provides as
well all essential material that students need to prepare for the
qualifying exam in algebra at most American and European
universities. Volume 2 (Chapters 7-13) forms the basis for a second
year graduate course in topics in algebra. As the table of contents
shows, that volume provides ample material accommodating a variety
of topics that may be included in a second year course. To
facilitate matters for the reader, there is a chart showing the
interdependence of the chapters.

This is the only book that deals comprehensively with fixed point
theorems throughout mathematics. Their importance is due, as the
book demonstrates, to their wide applicability. Beyond the first
chapter, each of the other seven can be read independently of the
others so the reader has much flexibility to follow his/her own
interests. The book is written for graduate students and
professional mathematicians and could be of interest to physicists,
economists and engineers.
