Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume is based on lectures on division algebras given at a conference held at Colorado State University. Although division algebras are a very classical object, this book presents this ""classical"" material in a new way, highlighting current approaches and new theorems, and illuminating the connections with a variety of areas in mathematics.
