Introduction to Non-Commutative Noetherian Rings

This introduction to noncommutative Noetherian rings is intended to be accessible to anyone with a basic background in algebra. It can be used as a first-year graduate text, or as a self-contained reference. The authors' pedagogic style, with much explanatory discussion and exercises integrated into the development, will be a valuable aid in this respect. The standard techniques in the area (rings of fractions, bimodules, Krull dimension, linked prime ideals) are introduced and applied to a variety of problems. A recurring emphasis is placed on prime ideals and injective modules.
