The first Russian edition of a landmark monograph in modern ring theory by Nathan Jacobson, one of the twentieth century's foremost algebraists. Born in Warsaw in 1910 and brought to the United States as a child, Jacobson spent most of his career at Yale, where he trained generations of algebraists, and served as president of the American Mathematical Society from 1971 to 1973. His name is permanently attached to the Jacobson radical, the concept that generalized the classical structure theory of rings beyond the finiteness conditions on which earlier work by Wedderburn, Artin, and Noether had depended, and to the Jacobson density theorem. The present book, first published by the American Mathematical Society in 1956, systematized the results of his own foundational 1945 papers on simple rings, radicals and semisimplicity, and algebraic algebras, and the translators' preface to this edition identifies it as the first monograph in world literature to organize this new period of the theory; it follows his earlier Theory of Rings (1943), already familiar to Soviet readers through its 1947 Russian translation. The translation was prepared by Vladimir Abramovich Andrunakievich, a ring theorist whose own name is attached to the Andrunakievich radical, and edited with a preface by Aleksandr Gennadievich Kurosh, one of the leading Soviet algebraists of his generation, whose own Kurosh problem on algebraic algebras is discussed directly within the book's concluding chapter on applications.
