Rings and Categories of Modules

This book is intended to provide a reasonably self-contained account of a major portion of the general theory of rings and modules suitable as a text for introductory and more advanced graduate courses. We assume the famil­ iarity with rings usually acquired in standard undergraduate algebra courses...
