Product Details
From the back cover: "Both novices and experts will benefit from this treatment, which combines the techniques of an introductory text with those of a monograph. It begins with a concise development of the fundamentals of lattice theory and a detailed exploration of free lattices. The core of the text focuses upon the theory of distributive lattices. Diagrams constitute an integral part of the book, along with 500 exercises and 67 original research problems. Eight appendixes, contributed by a group of experts, complement this accessible and information text."
