# zbMATH — the first resource for mathematics

##### Examples
 Geometry Search for the term Geometry in any field. Queries are case-independent. Funct* Wildcard queries are specified by * (e.g. functions, functorial, etc.). Otherwise the search is exact. "Topological group" Phrases (multi-words) should be set in "straight quotation marks". au: Bourbaki & ti: Algebra Search for author and title. The and-operator & is default and can be omitted. Chebyshev | Tschebyscheff The or-operator | allows to search for Chebyshev or Tschebyscheff. "Quasi* map*" py: 1989 The resulting documents have publication year 1989. so: Eur* J* Mat* Soc* cc: 14 Search for publications in a particular source with a Mathematics Subject Classification code (cc) in 14. "Partial diff* eq*" ! elliptic The not-operator ! eliminates all results containing the word elliptic. dt: b & au: Hilbert The document type is set to books; alternatively: j for journal articles, a for book articles. py: 2000-2015 cc: (94A | 11T) Number ranges are accepted. Terms can be grouped within (parentheses). la: chinese Find documents in a given language. ISO 639-1 language codes can also be used.

A first course in noncommutative rings. 2nd ed. (English) Zbl 0980.16001
Graduate Texts in Mathematics. 131. New York, NY: Springer. xix, 385 p. DM 106.89, sFr. 94.16, £37.00, $49.95 /pbk; DM 181.79, sFr. 156.76, £62.50,$ 79.95 /hbk (2001).
This is the second edition of the textbook with the same title (1991; Zbl 0728.16001). From the author’s preface to the second edition: In this new edition of “First Course”, the entire text has been retyped, some proofs were rewritten, and numerous improvements in the exposition have been included. The original chapters and sections have remained unchanged, with exception of an Appendix (on uniserial modules) to §20. The original exercises in the first edition have been replaced by the 400 exercises in the problem book [T. Y. Lam, Exercises in classical ring theory, Springer-Verlag (1995; Zbl 0823.16001)], and I have added at least 30 more in this edition for the convenience of the reader.
