Book SynopsisIncludes expositions of key developments in commutative and non-commutative algebra, algebraic $K$-theory, infinite group theory, and applications of algebra to topology. This book contains articles that are based on lectures given at a conference at Columbia University honoring the 65th birthday of Hyman Bass.
