• Book Details

Mathematical Surveys and Monographs
Volume: 71961; 224 pp
MSC: Primary 20;

The material in this volume was presented in a second-year graduate course at Tulane University, during the academic year 1958–1959. The book aims at being largely self-contained, but it is assumed that the reader has some familiarity with sets, mappings, groups, and lattices. Only in Chapter 5 will more preliminary knowledge be required, and even there the classical definitions and theorems on the matrix representations of algebras and groups are summarized.

• Chapters
• 1. Elementary concepts
• 2. Ideals and related concepts
• 3. Representation by matrices over a group with zero
• 4. Decompositions and extensions
• 5. Representation by matrices over a field
• Requests
