About
In part one, assuming only a standard first year graduate school math background, Hindman (mathematics, Howard U.) and Strauss (mathematics, U. of Hull, UK) develop the basic concepts and theorems of compact right topological semigroups, the Stone-Cech compactification of a discrete space, and the extension of the semigroup operation on S to [Beta]S. Part II presents the algebra of the semigroup [Beta]S,.; Part III illustrates powerful applications to Ramsey Theory; and Part IV concludes with links to topological dynamics, ergodic theory, and the general theory of semigroup compactifications. Chapters include exercises and notes on historical development. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
