This concept is critical to physicists and mathematicians working in discrete mathematics, simple groups, and algebraic group theory, to name just a few areas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Almost twenty years after its original publication, Mark Ronan's \u003ci\u003eLectures on Buildings \u003c\/i\u003eremains one of the best introductory texts on the subject. A thorough, concise introduction to mathematical buildings, it contains problem sets and an excellent bibliography that will prove invaluable to students new to the field. \u003ci\u003eLectures on Buildings \u003c\/i\u003ewill find a grateful audience among those doing research or teaching courses on Lie-type groups, on finite groups, or on discrete groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Ronan's account of the classification of affine buildings [is] both interesting and stimulating, and his book is highly recommended to those who already have some knowledge and enthusiasm for the theory of buildings.\"--\u003ci\u003eBulletin of the London Mathematical Society\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Ronan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226724999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226724997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Mark Ronan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119458742527,"sku":"9780226724997","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8e3ddcf-c156-4854-b53d-92ef14ffe2c4.jpg?v=1687409468","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lectures-on-buildings-mark-ronan-9780226724997","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
