Banach Algebras and the General Theory of -Algebras: Volume 1, Algebras and Banach Algebras - Palmer, Theodore W. (University of Oregon)

This is the first volume of a two volume set that provides a modern account of basic Banach algebra theory including all known results on general Banach -algebras. This account emphasises the role of -algebra structure and explores the algebraic results which underlie the theory of Banach algebras and -algebras.
