Description: In his work on rings of operators in Hilbert space, John von Neumann discovered a new mathematical structure that resembled the lattice system Ln. In characterizing its properties, von Newmann founded the field of continuous geometry. For students and researchers interested in ring theory or projective geometries, von Neumann discusses his findings and their applications.
Review Quotes: "This historic book should be in the hands of everyone interested in rings and projective geometry."---R. J. Smith, The Australian Journal of Science
