Algebra, K-Theory, Groups, and Education: On the Occasion of Hyman Bass's 65th Birthday

This volume includes expositions of key developments over the past four decades in commutative and non-commutative algebra, algebraic K-theory, infinite group theory, and applications of algebra to topology. Many of the articles are based on lectures given at a conference at Columbia University honoring the 65th birthday of Hyman Bass. Important topics related to Bass's mathematical interests are surveyed by leading experts in the field.
