Elements of Noncommutative Geometry

"In collecting the material in a coherent form, the authors have performed a valuable service and this book will no doubt open noncommutative geometry to a wider audience.... [A] large number of metaphorical and mathematical remarks embedded in the text...highlight the plethora of connections between the material of the book and other areas of mathematics." a? Mathematical Reviews "The material is collected from an enormous number of sources.... All of it is carefully worked out and serves as a highly recommendable introduction to the vital field of noncommutative geometry." a? Zentralblatt Math "The style of the book is lively, exempt of the stereotypes one encounters rather often in the mathematical literature. The authors know how to tell stories and enjoy doing it. The friendly tone could be of some help for an hypothetical unexperienced reader confronted with almost 700 pages of rather difficult and delicate mathematics." a?Journal of Operator TheoryGracia-Bonda, Jose M. is the author of 'Elements of Noncommutative Geometry' with ISBN 9780817641245 and ISBN 0817641246.
