About this title

Synopsis

Rings of Continuous Functions is a comprehensive textbook on the theory of rings of continuous functions, written by Leonard Gillman. The book is part of the University Series in Higher Mathematics and is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, as well as researchers in the field.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the basic theory of rings of continuous functions, topological spaces, compactness and connectedness, Stone-����ech compactification, and the Gelfand-Naimark theorem. It also includes chapters on commutative Banach algebras, uniform algebras, and the theory of maximal ideals.The author provides clear and concise explanations of the concepts and theorems, and includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand and apply the material. The book is well-organized and easy to follow, making it an excellent resource for anyone interested in the theory of rings of continuous functions.Edited By Oscar Zariski, S. S. Chern, And L. Nirenberg.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
